Abstract

It is disclosed a dental implant (130; 230; 330) for promoting hone growth. The dental implant includes an elongated implant body having a coronal end portion (131; 231; 331) and an apical end portion (132; 232; 332), at least one external thread (140; 240; 340) and a flute arrangement having a depth. The flute arrangement has at least two helical flutes (150; 250; 350) that spiral in the general direction of said at least one external thread (140; 240; 340). The flutes (150; 250; 350) propagate with a greater lead than said at least one thread (140; 240 340). The flute arrangement is capable of scraping off and transferring bone debris in the coronal direction of the implant during insertion. It is also disclosed a method of using the dental implant and an implant system according to the present invention.
