摘要： The present invention relates to a new dental implant (10) that includes a generally cylindrical section (14) and a tapered section (18). The implant has a thread (20) making a plurality of turns around the exterior surface. The implant (10) is installed into a bore that includes a generally cylindrical portion and a tapered portion. The dimensions of the cylindrical section (14) and the tapered section (18) of the implant are at least the dimensions of the generally cylindrical portion and the tapered portion of the bore, respectively. The bore is preferably shaped by a shaping drill that has a profile that generally mimics the profile of the implant. The female threads are preferably developed through a compression tap or a series of compression taps that cause the bone tissue defining the female threads to have increased density.
