Patent ID: 8657602

Claim:
A method of implanting a waved implant integrating a soft tissue area and an osseous tissue area, the implant being adapted to be connected at an upper end thereof to a process tooth, the implant comprising: a screw portion adapted to be inserted into an alveolar bone of a patient; a flange connected to an upper end of the screw portion and adapted to be inserted into the alveolar bone, the flange having on an upper end thereof a waved shape that is concave in front and rear portions thereof and is convex in left and right portions thereof, the flange comprising on a circumferential outer surface thereof a fine threaded portion having a thread pitch and/or a thread height smaller and denser than those of the screw portion, with a plurality of waved microthreads formed on the fine threaded portion; and wherein the soft tissue area is formed as one piece with an upper end portion of the flange, the upper end portion of the flange comprising a hemispheric-shaped portion; wherein the osseous tissue area comprises the screw portion and the flange; wherein the screw portion comprises a thread and a cutting edge; wherein the cutting edge comprises a flat surface portion extending axially along a lower part of the screw portion and intersecting the thread on the lower part of the screw portion, wherein the soft tissue area has ears which are connected with the flange in a body and configured to extend to the upper end of the gum when the implant is implanted in the alveolar bone; wherein the top end portion of the gum can contact with a contact portion, which makes contact with the gum and the soft tissue area at the same time; and wherein the microthreads have a roughened surface formed by a blasting, etching or anodizing surface treatment; wherein a portion of the plurality of waved microthreads are formed on the hemispheric-shaped portion, the hemispheric-shaped portion extending above a lowermost end of the soft tissue area; the method comprising implanting the screw portion into the alveolar bone of the patient such that the fine threaded portion extends upwardly through the cortical bone and into the gum, the gum surrounds and contacts microthreads on the fine threaded portion, and the hemispheric-shaped portion extends above the top end portion of the gum.
