Abstract
Disclosed is a dental implant abutment apparatus suited for use when a dentist simultaneously implants at least two artificial teeth in the alveolar bone of a patient. The dental implant abutment apparatus has an upper supporting member and a lower supporting member, in which the upper supporting member includes an artificial tooth installation part and a threaded portion integrally formed with each other, the lower supporting member is installed between the upper supporting member and an artificial tooth fixture to be implanted in the alveolar bone. An artificial tooth may be attached to a radial outer periphery surface of the upper supporting member by means of dental cement. There is an advantage in that it is possible to prevent the artificial tooth from being shaken or broken by always maintaining a stable engagement although an impact is repeatedly applied to the artificial tooth while a person having the artificial tooth chews his or her food well.
