1. A retrievable detent-retained dental prosthesis assembly comprising:
- a. a flanged intraradicular anchor portion wherein the anchor portion comprises an elongated member having a distal closed tapered end and an open proximal end defining an axially extending bore therein, configured to releasably engage a detent-retained dental prosthesis;
b. a detent comprising a head portion and a body portion configured to be releasably coupled to the anchor; and
c. a collar operably coupled to the detent, the collar having a bore axially extending therethrough and configured to receive the body portion of the detent while preventing passage of the detent head portion.

4. A retrievable screw-retained crown assembly comprising:
-
a. a flanged intraradicular anchor portion wherein the anchor portion comprises an elongated member having an open distal end and an open proximal end defining an axially extending bore therein, configured to releasably engage a screw-retained dental prosthesis, the flanged intraradicular portion further configured to be received in an endodontically treated root canal; b. a screw comprising a head portion and a body portion configured to be releasably coupled to the anchor; and c. a collar operably coupled to the screw, the collar having a bore axially extending therethrough and configured to receive the body portion of the screw while preventing passage of the screw head portion, wherein the screw is configured to extend through the flanged intraradicular portion and actively engage the root canal.
