A prosthesis mounting device and assembly for securing a prosthesis on an
implant supported in bone tissue. A metallic appendage or "preppable
abutment" is carried by a dental implant and is milled or "prepped" into
a shape suitable to accept a dental prosthetic. A recess extends axially
upwardly from an axial bottom end of the appendage and is shaped to fit
over an O-ring receiver abutment or "O-ball" of a dental implant.
