An experienced implantologist introduces a new, flexible, and versatile endosteal implant system. Requiring only a single bur, the implant may be used immediately or permitted to osteointegrate. Since intra-oral welding techniques may be used, parallelism of implants is not a requisite for the successful completion of mesiostructure double-railed bars. A variety of prosthetic techniques may be incorporated into the Gimlet system, and the implants themselves can be used in a number of locations and employed for multiple purposes.
