ABSTRACT:
An implant assembly includes an elongated hollow body having a skirt which can be positively secured within a bore in a bone of a patient by an expander mechanism, and an abutment which extends from the skirt outwardly from the bore for supporting a prosthetic component. Optionally, an abutment post may be provided which has a head position adjacent to the abutment and a shank received within the hollow body. In a related process for preparing the prosthesis, a transfer component is utilized to replicate the body portion surrounding the implant to facilitate manufacturing the prosthetic component. In this regard, an impression is taken over the abutment with the associated transfer component, and an implant analog having the transfer component associated therewith is inserted into the impression. A stone mold is created utilizing the impression having the inserted implant analog, which stone mold is utilized to form the prosthesis.
