Abstract
A one piece screw type mini dental implant (20) with a supragingival comfort head (10) that is generally frustoconical in shape and smooth in contour and outline, with rounded edges (11). The diameter of the base (12) is bigger than the diameter of the screw portion (1) by a factor of 1.5 to 1.6. Flats (4, 6), facets (5, 9), through holes (8, 8′), slots (7, 7′), and/or grooves (13, 13′) may be provided on the supragingival head (10). These features provide a mini dental implant that feels comfortable in a patient's mouth, is easy to place, amenable to direct impression taking and applicable in prosthodontic and orthodontic use.
