Papilla dental implant and method of use

Abstract

A papilla dental implant used in a gum restorative system and its method of use are provided. The papilla dental implant provides a platform or anchor for receded gum tissue to regenerate. The system involves, generally, a papilla dental implant which is forcibly inserted and secured into a jawbone of a patient. The papilla dental implant includes a head and a tapered shaft extending from the head and tapering to a pointed terminus. The shaft of the papilla dental implant may include barbs, threads or multiple separable and expandable sections to more securely hold the implant in the bone. The shaft of the papilla dental implant is inserted and secured into the bone and the gum tissue is allowed to grow around the exposed head of the papilla dental implant, reducing or even eliminating voids or diastemas between the teeth.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
