Abstract
Dental prosthesis support apparatus includes a plurality of dental implants having self-tapping threads on a lower portion thereof for seating in a jawbone and an upper portion for enabling engagement therewith. An armature is provided having sufficient flexibility to be aligned with the jawbone and engaged along the upper portions of each of the plurality of dental implants seated in the jawbone. The armature is formed from a material enabling subsequent rigidization. The method includes installing a plurality of dental implants into a jawbone in a spaced apart relationship and thereafter removably disposing an armature onto each of the plurality of dental implants and aligning the armature with the jawbone. The armature is removed and rigidized to the jawbone alignment and thereafter affixed onto each of the implants.
