Abstract

The invention relates to a dental implant which has an axis and a hole with a positioning section. Said positioning section has projecting parts and intermediate spaces distributed alternately, one after the other, along the periphery. Said intermediate spaces comprise several first intermediate spaces which create a division, and a second, wider intermediate space. A secondary and/or supplementary structural part can be attached in the implant, said part having a connecting section which extends into the hole. Said connecting section can have projecting parts for engaging in the intermediate spaces of the implant, and can be configured in such a way that it can be fixed to the implant in several different rotated positions or a single rotated position. The secondary and/or supplementary structural part can also be produced without projecting parts of the type mentioned, so that it can be screwed into the implant.
