<p>The present invention relates to an endosteal implant system and a method for mounting a dental prosthesis on one or more implants. The system comprises an implant (30), a two-piece anchor whereby one piece (10) is an angled support for mounting a dental prosthesis and the second piece (20) is a threaded base portion for securing to the implant (30). The support (10) is seated within the base portion (20) and is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the base portion (20). The alignment is achieved by first threading in the base portion (20) into the implant (30) and rotating the support (10) until a best alignment is made. An accurate visual intraoral evaluation of the anchor alignment is made utilizing a unique alignment handle (50) which is snapped into each support. If the alignment is not satisfactory, the support with the alignment handle (50) can be rotated until a satisfactory alignment is achieved.</p> |
