ABSTRACT:
An improved bone implant for securing artificial teeth to a jaw bone. The implant includes a body plate having an outer end and an inner end and two broadsides, each of which is formed with transversely spaced apart elongated depressions which are transverse to the direction from the outer end to the inner end. Each of the depressions is free from undercut surfaces, and has a longitudinal center plane and is symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center plane. The depressions may consist of grooves having a semicircular cross-section. The body plate is enlarged in thickness in the shape of a bead at its inner end, in order to promote the application of pressure by the inner end of the body plate to the surrounding body tissue.
