First Claim
Patent Images
1. A dental implant, comprising:
- a body having a porous metal portion for engaging bone and a coronal end including a polygonal shaped anti-rotational interface defining an opening configured for receiving an apical end of an abutment, the opening providing access to an internally threaded axially extending bore; and
a reinforcing collar defining a head disposed toward the coronal end, wherein an exterior surface of the reinforcing collar includes an array of outwardly extending ribs elongated axially;
the porous metal portion having an outer apical to coronal height of about 4 mm to about 6 mm and an outer diameter of about 4 mm to about 6 mm wherein the height and diameter are approximately the same to create a short and wide porous metal portion.

Abstract
A dental implant has a body with a porous metal portion for engaging bone. The porous metal portion has an outer coronal to apical height and an outer diameter. Both the height and diameter are about 4 mm to about 6 mm. This permits the implant to be placed on a jaw with a reduced bone volume.
