Patent ID: 8337205

Claim:
A dental implantable device for insertion into bone for use with a prosthetic tooth, wherein the dental implantable device comprises: an abutment with a plurality of male keys disposed symmetrically about the distal end of the abutment, the prosthetic tooth configured to be coupled to the abutment; an implantable anchor with a proximal and distal end and having a plurality of female keyways disposed symmetrically about the proximate end of the implantable anchor capable of coupling to the male keys of the abutment and an interlocking thread helically defined around a longitudinal axis, the thread being adapted to thread into a bore in the bone and comprising: a first superior contact surface having a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis greater than 90 degrees; a second superior contact surface extending radially outward from the first contact surface and having a second acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis; an inferior flank surface having a third angle relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein the first angle is larger than the second angle such that the first contact surface and the second contact surface form an approximate longitudinally cross-sectional V-shape; and an inferior relief surface having a fourth angle relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein all of the angles relative to the longitudinal axis are unequal to each other and are arranged such that each thread continuously narrows in size as it becomes more radially distant from the longitudinal axis; wherein the dental implantable device further comprises means for coupling the abutment to the implantable anchor; and a self-tapping repository bore defined in a distal portion of the implantable anchor.
