ABSTRACT:
A mounting arrangement for interconnecting a prosthesis to a bone of a patient includes a first component adapted for direct attachment to the bone. The first component has a longitudinally extending aperture including an upper portion defined by a smooth surface and a lower portion defined by a plurality of internal threads. The mounting arrangement additionally includes a second component adapted to abut the first component. The second component includes a generally cylindrical channel passing longitudinally therethrough. Further, the mounting arrangement includes a threaded fastener including an upper segment having a smooth surface and a lower segment including a plurality of external threads for meshing engagement with the plurality of internal threads. The upper segment passes through the generally cylindrical channel and it extends partially into the aperture. In one application, the mounting arrangement is intended for interconnecting a dental prosthesis with a human jawbone and permits the dental prosthesis to more effectively accommodate bending forces which develop during normal use by removing the bending forces from the threaded interconnection of the components.
