Abstract
A dental augment system includes a porous metal augment, a solid metal insert, and a dental implant. The porous metal augment is sized for use in mandibular or maxillar bone. The porous metal material of the augment facilitates and promotes ingrowth of the surrounding bone into the porous metal structure, thereby rebuilding a suitable foundation for affixation of dental implants. The solid metal insert can be configured to be received within an insert bore of the porous metal augment and a dental implant can be received within and theradably engaged with a threaded bore of the solid metal insert.
