Abstract:
A dental implant and method of its implantation are disclosed. The dental implant provides a platform for attaching a crown. The dental implant and crown provide an aesthetic, natural looking appearance, especially in the interproximal region between the implant and adjacent teeth, at the juncture of the implant and crown, and along the gum line, which generally corresponds to the location of the cementoenamel junction of a healthy natural tooth. The implant and method of the present invention enable regeneration of the interdental papilla to occur, which contributes to the esthetic, natural appearance of the restoration resulting from use of this dental implant and procedure.
