A dental implant device and method, that provides for a simplified protocol and reduced patient pain. The device comprises a body (10) and an abutment (15) that constitute a single piece, the body (10) having an external screw thread (12) and a self-tapping distal end (11) and the abutment (15) having an internally threaded, axial cavity (13) and a proximate portion (18) that is shaped for turning to screw the device into the bone (40). A handle (44) is further provided for engaging and rotating the abutment (15). In performing the implantation, the device is screwed into the bone (40) until only the abutment (15) protrudes, and then the prosthesis (53) may be applied. Analogs (56) are also provided to facilitate production of the prosthesis (53). |
