Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel endosseous implants, which are designed so that the areas intended for bone apposition exhibit a scalloped appearance, including both convex, and concave patterns, to follow the naturally occuring bone morphology. Thus, the disclosed implants, provide attachment possibilities for both bone and soft tissue, thereby effecting both hard- and soft-tissue preservation.
