Abstract: A dental implant for anchoring attachments to the jawbone including an endosseous blade-like base embedded entirely within the bone tissue of the mandibular or maxillary ridge. A juxtaosseous support abutment is connected to the base by a shank having a neck portion spaced from the base and confined to the gingival. The base is received within a trough surgically cut into the jawbone and stabilized therein by cross-sectionally rounded enlargements of edge portions extending in mesial-distal directions relative to the shank.

Abstract: A dental implant for anchoring attachments to the jawbone including a flat base embedded entirely within the bone tissue of the mandibular or maxillary ridge. A support head is connected to the base by a shank having a necked down portion spaced from the base and confined to the gingival. A stabilizer formation spaced lingually from the base in overlying relation to a rectangular opening formed therein, is connected to the edge portion of the base from which the shank projects.
