ABSTRACT:
The dental implant system includes a saddle-shaped support member that fits over the patient's jaw bone and has a shallow depression into which an anchor for a prosthesis is inserted. A cover plate, with an opening for access to the anchor, fits over the anchor and a portion of the support. The system is held in place by retaining wires that wrap around the patient's jaw bone and over the cover plate. The wires supply rigidity to the system. The anchor is threaded, such that a crown abutment can be screwed to the anchor through the opening in the cover plate and thereby positioned on the jaw. The dental prosthesis is then attached to the crown abutment in a conventional manner.
