ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for positioning a dental implant, comprising cutting a slot in a jaw bone with a tool comprising a shaft having a flat cutter wheel at one end of relatively large diameter and a plurality of relatively small cutter wheels spaced apart from said relatively large wheel and from each other along said shaft. The cutting is effected by moving the shaft normal to its axis so that the relatively large flat cutter wheel moves into the jaw bone while remaining in a single plane. Upon removing the tool from said slot, an implant is emplaced in the slot comprising a shaft having at one end a relatively large diameter wheel and a plurality of relatively small wheels spaced apart along said shaft from said relatively large wheel and from each other. The relatively large wheel of said implant has a thickness slightly greater than that of said large wheel of said cutter wheel thereby to wedge said implant in the jaw bone, the emplacing of the implant being effected by moving the implant shaft normal to its axis so that the relatively large diameter wheel of the implant moves into the slot while remaining in a single plane.
