  • Patent number: 5899696
    Abstract: A dental implant is provided that can be firmly fixed in an oral cavity, even if the amount of bone required to embed the implant is small.

The fixture part of the implant includes several members movably connected to each other so that the fixture part is adjustable in length. The fixture part includes a first member made up of an uppermost member, a middle member, and an end member. It is preferred that the middle member be cylindrical or rod-shaped with male screws extending radially outwardly from an outer circumferential periphery thereof. The fixture part also includes a second member which is a hollow cylinder. It is preferred that the hollow cylinder have a tapped hole on one end with female screw on an inner periphery thereof so that the middle member of the first member can be screwed into the second member.
