A submergible screw-type implant (10) includes a longitudinal channel (18) which directs bone chips towards the base of a bore in the patient's bone in which the implant is installed. These bone chips promote autogenous rapid regrowth of new bone to securely anchor the implant in place. In order to be able to position the implant (10) at the most advantageous angle at the edentulous sight, angled abutments (20) for supporting an artificial tooth structure (30) or angularly adjustable abutments are provided. A method of installing the angularly adjustable oral implant involves setting the abutment portion at the proper angle for alignment of the artificial tooth and subsequently locking it in that position. |
