Abstract
A dental implant for securement within a bore within a maxilla or mandible, inclusive of the cortical bone includes a threaded elongate anchor having a proximal upper portion having a larger outside diameter than that of an integral distal lower portion, the anchor defining, in axial cross-section, an envelope in which the upper portion substantially defines a cylinder and the lower portion substantially defines a conical section, and an engagable head integrally dependent from a proximal surface of the proximal portion of the anchor, the head having an outside diameter smaller than a greatest outside diameter of the proximal portion of the anchor, the outside diameter of the head also equal or less than a diameter of an entry region into the bore. A greatest axial length of the lower portion defines a length of about 6.0 mm.
