1. An endosteal horizontally placed non-crestal dental implant system comprising:
a. at least one dental implant having a proximal end, a distal end, an internal architecture, and a helical thread extending along the outside region between the said proximal end and the said distal end, said implant configured to be implanted horizontally or near horizontally by way of a non-crestal approach into a mandible or maxilla, said mandible or maxilla having a lingual or palatal side and a buccal side, and said implant being configured to be implanted from either the buccal side towards the lingual or palatal side or from the lingual or palatal side towards the buccal side at an angle which maximizes engagement with previously unusable bone tissue from the mandible or maxilla such that the osseointegrated surface area of the implant is increased, and further wherein the cross-sectional diameter of the implant is uniform throughout the length of the implant; and
b. at least one dental implant abutment having a proximal end for attaching to the said dental implant and a distal end configured for the attachment of a dental prosthesis;
wherein the proximal and distal ends of the at least one dental implant are configured to assume an angular configuration relative to the at least one dental implant abutment, and further wherein the at least one dental implant abutment can be positioned at an angle neither parallel with nor perpendicular to the at least one dental implant.
