ABSTRACT:
A dental prosthesis comprising an anchoring base for insertion into prepared osseous tissue is provided. The anchoring base generally has a body portion having a top, a bottom, and an outside surface. A crown portion is provided for attachment to the top of said anchoring base. Provided is an outside surface for enhanced osteointegration of said tissue to said anchoring base and an elastic member extending outwardly from the outside surface of said body portion to provide a stabilizing force against said living osseous tissue. The outside surface of the body portion can be provided with a recess for selectively receiving the elastic member. The elastic member can extend outwardly from the outside surface of said body portion or be selectively retained within the corresponding recess. The elastic member can be made of a biodegradable material. The biodegradable materials used in the implant can further incorporate bioactive agents which are gradually released into the surrounding tissue.
