Abstract
A implant is disclosed particularly for jawbone, comprising a diaphragm and a carrier having an elongated column-like central portion and a frame supporting the central portion, as well as spikes for anchoring the carrier into the jawbone. An intermediate piece for fastening the diaphragm at the end of the central portion are also disclosed. The implant facilitates favorable conditions for growth of the bone tissue so that bone material grows into a space covered by the diaphragm due to the solid anchoring of the implant into the jawbone.
