摘要 |
The invention relates to an implant, coloured to match the teeth, for fitting in a jaw, having an insertion component which can be fitted in the jawbone and having a support component for fixing a dental prosthesis. The support component is intended to protrude beyond the jawbone when the insertion component is in the implanted position. The support component, or at least an external peripheral portion thereof, is made of a ceramic material of a thickness such that the ceramic material can be partially removed in order to adapt the shape of the support component. During this operation it is possible, in particular, for a shoulder for supporting the dental prosthesis to be formed, which shoulder narrows the support component and follows the edge of the jawbone surrounding the implant. |
