IMPLANT WHICH CAN BE APPLIED IN A RECESS IN BONE TISSUE, AND METHOD FOR SUCH AN IMPLANT

摘要

An implant is arranged in a recess in bone. The imlant is intended to constitute an attachment or support for a prosthetic structure via one or more parts extending through the periosteum/mucosa of the bone. The portion or portions forming the attachment or support are arranged to penetrate with a low degree of penetration into the recess or recesses and with substantially their total area in the direction of extension. In the applied position of the attachment or support in the recess or recesses, the side surfaces of the portion or portions, together with parts of or all of said total area in the direction of extension, can be placed opposite and cooperate substantially only with cortical and/or subcortical layers in the bone.
