A biofunctional dental implant system for affixing a crown to an implant socket
that is made in the bone structure within the mouth of a dental patient. A root
portion is initially anchored within the implant socket made in the patient's bone
structure. According to a first embodiment of this invention, the crown is secured
to the root portion by a flexible abutment post. According to a second embodiment,
the crown is secured to the root portion by a hollow abutment tube. The dental
implant system of this invention is capable of increasing bone/implant stabilization
and providing a supply path through which to evenly distribute human growth factor
to the bone structure surrounding the root portion. The system also enables the
crown to have a selectively controllable mobility relative to the root portion
that is anchored within the implant socket so as to advantageously function like
a natural tooth.
