Abstract: An endo-osseous implant has a roughly cylindrical shape with a threaded exterior surface and an internal cavity at the apical end. The internal cavity is open toward the apical end and it has threaded walls that taper toward the exterior surface of the implant to form an apical cutting edge where they meet the threads of the outer surface. A drill shorter in length than the implant, is used to form an osseous cavity in which the longer implant is secured. The implant threads may be self-taping. As a result, upon securing the implant to the osseous tissue, bone fragments and shavings are directed into the internal cavity. When the implant reaches the base of the cavity the cutting edge cuts into the base and further anchors the implant in place.

Abstract: A dental implant having a unique thread configuration, which increases the total load bearing area to maximize support values of a successful implant for the same osteotomy when compared to other implant designs. At least one course of helical threads surrounds an elongated, cylindrical body. In an embodiment chosen for the purposes of disclosure, the threads have relatively broad crestal surfaces, typically having a rounded profile. One or more helical secondary threaded grooves are disposed in the crestal surface of the threads.

The broad crestal thread design compresses bone in one direction while bone is being collected by the helical grooves in the opposite direction. The result is that the implant is immediately stable in a patient's jaw. The method of installing the dental implant is also novel.
