Abstract
An endosseous dental implant system comprising an artificial root and a canted coronal section. Interposed between the artificial root and the canted coronal section is an intermediate post having a locking formation adjacent both the coronal section and the artificial root. A floating screw is captured inside the intermediate post and permits the intermediate post to be secured to the artificial root independently from the coronal section. The coronal section can be secured on the intermediate post with a free screw.
