<p>A threaded dental implant assembly is provided for insertion into a pre-drilled bore in the jawbone is disclosed. The threaded dental implant assembly includes a threaded implant body (12) to which is attached a healing cap (22) for covering the central socket (18) in the implant body (12) during the initial healing period. The healing cap (22) is mechanically coupled to the implant body before the insertion procedure by a coupling screw (28) extending through a bore in the healing cap into the central socket (18) of the implant body. A recess (25) in the bottom of the healing cap (22) mates with a protrusion (16) on the top of the implant body (12) such that the healing cap (22) is prevented from rotating relative to the implant body (12) and can transmit torque thereto. A tool (36) engages the top of the healing cap (22) for easy manipulation of the implant body/healing cap during the insertion procedure. The tool (36) is desengaged from the heating cap (22) after the insertion procedure thereby leaving the implant body (12) and healing cap (22) in the jawbone.</p> |
