<p>A ceramic one-piece implant is provided that comprises a first portion and a second portion that are integrally formed with each other. The first portion can be arranged at a coronal end of the implant for fitting engagement with a dental restoration to the implant. The second portion can contiguously adjoin the first portion at a coronal edge. Further, the second portion can have a width and be arranged apically from the coronal end of the implant. The second portion can also be devised for arrangement in epithelial contact with soft tissue upon implantation of the dental implant. Furthermore, a curvature including the coronal edge can be adjustable by removal of material at least from the second portion while the width of the shoulder is substantially maintained.</p> |
