ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to a tooth implant which is obtained from a donor's jawbone. The tooth implant includes the root of the donor's tooth with the crown detached therefrom and a portion of the donor's jawbone which surrounds the root and is attached thereto. The implant is obtained by carefully harvesting the root with the attached portion of jawbone surrounding the root as a single unit from a donor individual. The tooth implant is implanted into an opening in a recipient's jawbone. Upon healing, the implant is firmly and permanently attached to the bone tissue of the recipient. The root of the implant may then be used to affix a prosthetic crown within the jawbone of the recipient.
