1. A dental implant system comprising:
a first abutment, a coping member, a coping threaded screw and a housing assembly; the first abutment comprising a body constructed and arranged to be secured to the coping member at a first end and to a dental implant at a second end, said body comprising a taper-shaped portion having an outer surface comprising one or more locking members, said one or more locking members defined by a flat surface cut within said taper-shaped portion outer surface and terminating in a seat at a base, said first end comprising internal threading sized and shaped to receive the coping threaded screw, thereby securing said coping member to said first abutment, said body having a first longitudinal axis intersecting a second longitudinal axis at an angle of between zero degrees and less than forty-five degrees;
said coping member comprising a longitudinal axis, a custom milled main body having a base and a cone, an opening located on an upper surface, and an interior screw channel, said opening of said coping member sized and shaped to receive said coping threaded screw and is positioned on-center or off-center at various degrees depending on an angulation correction of said coping member, said interior screw channel sized and shaped to receive and hold said coping threaded screw, said interior screw channel terminating in a first abutment receiving portion, said first abutment receiving portion sized and shaped to receive said first abutment taper-shaped portion, said coping member comprising internal geometry at a base which is sized and shaped to engage with said at least one or more locking members flat surfaces of said first abutment taper-shaped portion, thus providing an anti-rotational mechanism when said first abutment is engaged with or secured to said coping member, said coping member providing angular correction relative to an orientation of one or more adjacent dental implants or one or more teeth at said base or said cone of between zero and fifteen degrees, said angular correction of between zero and fifteen degrees is determined by the angle between said coping member longitudinal axis and a vertical axis across said implant system, to align in a parallel orientation with said one or more additional implants or said one or more teeth; and
said housing assembly constructed and arranged to secure to said coping member through engagement with a housing assembly inner member, and to a dental prosthesis through engagement with a housing assembly outer member,
said housing assembly outer member comprising a closed first end defining a first end upper surface and a first end bottom surface, a second open bottom end, a body separating said closed first end and said second open end by a length, an interior sized and shaped to receive and engage with said housing assembly inner member, and a lip or shoulder configured to engage with a corresponding portion of said housing assembly inner member, thereby securing said housing assembly inner member to said housing assembly outer member,
said housing assembly inner member comprising a first open end, a second open end, a body separating said first open end and said second open end by a length and an interior sized and shaped to receive and engage with said coping member, said housing assembly inner member body length extends from said bottom end of said housing assembly outer member to said first end of said housing assembly outer member, abutting said bottom surface of said housing assembly outer member body closed first end, wherein, when said housing assembly inner member and said housing assembly outer member are seated together, said first end of said housing assembly inner member directly interfaces with said housing assembly outer member closed first end and a second end of said housing assembly inner member engages with said housing assembly outer member open second end, wherein, when seated with said coping member, a top surface of said coping member directly interfaces with said first end bottom surface of said outer housing assembly member, said housing assembly inner member further comprising a circumferential male ring that interlinks with a circumferential groove located on an exterior surface of said coping member.
