Claims4
An implant fixture adapted for implanting into an alveolus of a jawbone of a patient, the jawbone including a facial side and a lingual side, the implant fixture comprising:
- a. a head section integrally coupled with a shaft section to form a one-piece implant;
- b. the head section including a concave facial sidewall having a concavity extending radially inward into the head section;
- c. the head section including a concave lingual sidewall having a concavity extending radially inward into the head section;
- and
- d. the concavity of the lingual sidewall taller than the concavity of the facial sidewall;
- e. wherein the concave facial sidewall provides a concave shape area for bone growth therein to compensate for jawbone deterioration adjacent to the implant fixture due to craniofacial growth and promotes bone volume and/or soft tissue volume adjacent the facial side surface area and the concave lingual sidewall provides a concave shape area for bone growth therein to compensate for jawbone deterioration adjacent to the implant fixture due to craniofacial growth and promotes bone volume and/or soft tissue volume adjacent the lingual side surface area.
