Abstract:
1. An implant for promoting the growth of new vertical bone beyond existing bone level, comprising: an initial implant portion having at its apical end a fastening means for directly embedding into direct contact with existing bone and having a coronal end that is configured to be proximal to existing bone level; an osteointegrative portion disposed at the coronal end of the initial implant portion and which is configured to be substantially situated beyond the existing bone level, wherein said osteointegrative portion further comprises an osteotropic/angiotropic material disposed thereon; and an osteotropic/angiotropic stabilizer disposed at the coronal end of the osteointegrative portion and which prevents movement of the osteotropic/angiotropic material; and a preliminary stabilizer disposed generally at the coronal end of the initial implant portion for providing lateral and/or retentive stability to the initial implant portion during and/or after growth of new bone on the implant; wherein said implant promotes the growth of new vertical bone along the osteointegrative portion beyond the existing bone level.
