ABSTRACT:
An endosteal implant, and the method for performing the implantation thereof, which promotes rapid and complete securing of the inplant to bone tissue. Soft tissure at a bone site is incised and a bore is drilled in the exposed bone. An implant housing is inserted in the bore. The implant housing is constructed so as to be able to receive a selectively removable electrical power source therewithin. When the power source is received within the housing located in the bore in the bone, and the soft tissue is sealed over the implant housing site, the power source produces an electrical current travelling through the tissue and the bone surrounding the site. Such current promotes cellular adhesion activity thereby substantially reducing the time for securing the implant housing to the bone. Subsequently, the electrical power source may be removed and replaced with a suitable abutment for affixing a desired prosthesis to the implant housing. Alternatively, the power source may be permanently left within the implant housing.
