Abstract:
1. A dental bone implant comprising: i. a single bone attachment component for securing the implant into a bone, wherein the bone attachment component includes an internally threaded bore, a distal end and a proximal end, the entire length of the bone attachment component being adapted for implantation into a jawbone, wherein the distal end of the bone attachment component has a distal surface; ii. a single head component independent of and separable from the attachment component, wherein the head component has a length, a bore going through the head component and extending the length of the head component from a proximal end to a distal end, the bore having from proximal end to distal end: a set ring, a flange opening, an unthreaded section, and a threaded section, the bore of the head component comprising an internal limiting flange between the set ring and the threaded section, wherein the entire length of the head component is adapted for implantation into the bone and is further adapted to be secured to the bone attachment component utilizing the internal limiting flange at the time of initial implantation of both the bone attachment component and the head component into the bone and is further adapted to be secured to an additional component using the threaded section of the bore, and the head component has a cross-section outer wall shape perpendicular to the length of the head component, wherein the cross-section outer wall shape is generally uniform along the length of the head component and the cross-section outer wall shape is non-circular; and iii. an abutment adapted to be secured independently to the head component in an overlying relation to the head component, for receiving a prosthesis, and being spaced apart from the bone attachment component by the head component, wherein the abutment is adapted for extending above the crestal height of the bone;
