ABSTRACT:
An improved cylindrical dental implant for anchoring a dental prosthesis in a hole formed in a jawbone comprising an elongated cylindrical member having a first end adapted to be inserted into the hole and a second end adapted to receive the dental prosthesis. At least one wedge member radially extends from the cylindrical member to effect immediate fixation of the cylindrical member in the hole. The wedge member has a base portion connected to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member and a tapered portion having a first planar face and a second planar face. The first planar face and the second planar face intersect to form a thin longitudinally extending edge.
