FIGS. 1-7 illustrate a first embodiment of a dental implant fixture. The environment is shown in broken lines and forms no part of the design.




FIGS. 8-14 illustrate a second embodiment of the dental implant fixture. The environment is shown in broken lines and forms no part of the design. Elements of the fixture that form no part of the design of the second embodiment are shown in dashed lines.




The two embodiments of the dental implant fixture illustrated in FIGS. 1-14 are preferred for use on one side of the mouth. Two further embodiments of the dental implant fixture that are preferred for use on the other side of the mouth are mirror images of the two embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1-14. These two additional embodiments are also intended to fall within the scope of the claim. However, since they are mirror images, they are not separately illustrated.
