Abstract: A non-crestal dental implant system includes at least one dental implant having a proximal end and a distal end; the implant configured to be inserted by way of a non-crestal approach into a mandible or maxilla from a specific zone originating in either the buccal side or lingual side of a mandible or either the buccal side or palatal side of a maxilla towards a termination point in a specific zone in a mandible or maxilla via an omnidirectional pathway which does not go through or contact the crest of the ridge, which thereby utilizes otherwise non-usable bone to secure at least one dental implant; and at least one retentive element having a proximal end for attaching to the dental implant and a distal end configured for the attachment of a dental prosthesis. A method for patient diagnosis and treatment with the system is also included.

Abstract: An endosteal horizontally placed non-crestal dental implant system including at least one dental implant having a proximal end, a distal end, an internal architecture, and a helical thread extending along the outside region between the proximal end and the distal end. The one or more implants are configured to be implanted horizontally or near horizontally by way of a non-crestal approach, into a mandible or maxilla and to engage with bone tissue. The system also includes at least one dental implant abutment having a proximal end for attaching to the said dental implant and a distal end configured for the attachment of a dental prosthesis. A method of diagnosis and treatment of edentulism using the endosteal horizontally placed non-crestal dental implant system is also recited.
