Abstract

Dental implant embodiments comprising one or more non-annular cutaways from a portion of the crown are described. In some embodiments, cutaways, which are implantable beneath the bone line, are orientable during implantation by reference to a dental implant positioning tool to which the dental implant is mated in a known orientation. Mating, in some embodiments, is secured by a detent system which reversibly interlocks the positioning tool and the implant. In some embodiments, a surface of a cutaway is provided with protrusions which stimulate bone regrowth into the volume which the remainder of the cutaway provides.
