ABSTRACT:
A dental endosseous implant having a generally cylindrical shape, which includes a leg portion embedded in an alveolar bone to form an artificial tooth root, and a head portion extending from one end of the leg portion to form a support upon which an artificial tooth is mounted. The implant is at least partially made of a metallic material having a thermal shape memory effect of deformation, which causes the leg portion to be bent with respect to the head portion in response to a variation of temperature of the implant after insertion of the leg portion into the alveolar bone.
