ABSTRACT:
After retraction of the periostium a rectangularly shaped channel, having a configuraton equal to the shape of the implant, is cut in the jawbone beneath the ridge crest. The channel is checked with a gauge having a shape substantially the same as the implant but having slightly smaller dimensions. The channel is then enlarged and again checked with another gauge, slightly larger than the first. The process is repeated until the channel is of the proper size. A rectangularly shaped implant having two spaced apart substantially parallel vertical side walls is then inserted into the channel so that the entire implant is below the top level of the bone. The walls of the implant are then cammed outwardly with the use of screw means so as to press against the walls of the channel to secure the implant in place. After the bone and other tissue has grown around the implant and over the top thereof, the plug in the tapered hole at the middle of the implant is removed and a post is screwed therein to which a tooth is molded.
