Abstract
A dental implant assembly comprises a base member and an abutment member. The base member is adapted for placement into an opening in a jawbone and comprises elongated vertically parallel side walls coupled with opposing curved end walls which together define an eccentrically shaped external surface and an eccentrically shaped internal cavity. The base member also includes an eccentrically shaped curved lip which couples top edge perimeters of the external surface and the internal cavity to one another. The abutment member is adapted for placement into the eccentrically shaped internal cavity of the base member. Responsive to placement of the abutment member in the eccentrically shaped internal cavity of the base member, a trans-gingival emergence profile is formed between the eccentrically shaped curved lip and a region of the lower portion between the eccentrically shaped curved lip and the shoulder.
