ABSTRACT:
A support device or post for fitting into an implant implanted into a patient which is configured to support a dental prosthesis is provided. An upper portion of the post, in one embodiment, has external screw threads for coupling a healing cap. The upper portion of the post may be removed or broken away at a weakened portion or constriction. The support device has a collar which can define various heights or diameters. The support device can be positioned in the implant by mating screw threads with the support device being torqued to a predetermined torque, preferably using a torque wrench which can be set using a non-variable, preferably gravity-based, standard.
