Abstract
Abstract A dental implant is disclosed which comprises a dental root part to be embedded in a jaw bone alone or in combination with a dental crown part or a dental crown support part. At least a major portion of the surface of the dental root part to be in contact with the jaw bone is formed of a biologically active material. The contour of the surface of the dental root part is rotationally symmetrical with its diameter being constant or decreased monotonously from its one end, that is, the collum dentis portion to the other end, that is, the root end portion. The root end portion is smoothly closed.
