Abstract: Dental implants for fixed and removable prosthetic devices, having application to single tooth replacement, e.g., caps and crowns, and multiple tooth replacement using one or more implants, e.g., bridges, and multiple implants for full and partial prosthetic devices. Dental implants include an implant and an abutment configured to mate with the implant in a non-rotatable fashion. The implant may have a cylindrical or a non-cylindrical shape. In one embodiment, the dental implant includes a first stage implant and a second stage implant. The second stage implant is interconnectable to the first stage implant and includes an abutment with an anatomical emergence profile. Further, dental reconstruction and abutment installation methods utilizing the dental implant systems and instruments are disclosed. Also provided are impression taking procedures, and impression copings that produce an accurate fit between the dental prosthesis and the dental implant.
