Abstract
A threaded dental implant assembly is provided for insertion into a pre-drilled bore in the jawbone is disclosed. The threaded dental implant assembly includes a threaded implant body to which is attached a healing cap for covering the central socket in the implant body during the healing period. The healing cap is mechanically coupled to the implant body before the insertion procedure by a coupling screw extending through bore in the healing cap into the central socket of the implant body. A recess in the bottom of the healing cap mates with a protrusion on the top of the implant body such that the healing cap is prevented from rotating relative to the implant body. A tool engages the top of the healing cap for easy manipulation of the implant body/healing cap during the insertion procedure. The tool is disengaged from the healing cap after the insertion procedure thereby leaving the implant body and healing cap in the jawbone.
