Stress absorbing semipermanent dental implant system

Claim 1

A dental implant system comprising: a. a foundation fixture having an internal socket in spaced-apart relationship from one end of an elongated keeper, said spaced-apart relationship defining a shock-absorbing fluid reservoir force dampening means; and b. a transmucosal abutment telescopically fitted within said foundation fixture, said abutment comprising a plurality of vertical resilient members having protrusions at their inner surface and defining a hollow column extending from external threads which further define the hollow column and said threads configured in torus-like fashion above a hollow pedestal member of the abutment; and c. a keeper extending telescopically through the abutment and at one end resting within the fixture socket, said keeper having a circumferential circular groove to releaseably receive by "snap-action" the protrusions of the abutment so as to define a second dampening means, and having a web-like base fitted to a single or multiple tooth prostheses; and d. a seal member fitted between the web-like base of the keeper and the pedestal of the abutment so as to form a third force dampening means; whereas the implant more effectively mirrors the longitudinal movement of natural teeth, mimics the shock-absorbing capabilities of natural teeth, and relieves the prosthesis when impacted by excessive force without injuring the jawbone.
