Claim:
A dental implant assembly comprising; a first part for fixing to a tooth implant comprising a cylindrical member with an open top end of a first inner diameter, an open bottom end of a lesser inner diameter, and a uniformly inwardly slanting diameter depending downward along the interior of the cylinder, outlining a conical shape; a second part for fixing to a jaw comprising a cylindrical member with a top surface comprising an inwardly slanting diameter depending downward from the surface, outlining a conical shape, and terminating in a threaded bore; a male to female locking mechanism on the bottom surface of the first part and top surface of the second part that prevents rotational motion; and a fastening means having a top head portion and a bottom threaded portion for fastening the first and second parts together; wherein the fastening means' top head portion comprises a top surface for engaging a tightening tool, and a slanting side surface, complimentary to the slanted interior profiles of the first and second parts, rendering the top head portion of the fastening means three dimensionally conical; and such that upon fixing the fastening means into the connected first and second parts, the entire conical side surface of the fastening means makes uniform contact along the interior of the first and second parts, and a substantial amount of the head portion descends into the interior slanted dimension of the second part, thereby distributing pressure evenly across both parts and the fastening means.
