The head member has an upstanding taper for receipt of a crown, a frusto-spherical basal portion extending down from the upstanding taper and a tapered rod or socket for connection to the root. The upstanding taper and the root connector rod or socket are aligned along radii of the sphere which defines the spherical surface of the basal portion.
