Abstract
A dental implant may be prepared by roughening or coating a desired portion of a dental implant blank and removing material from the dental implant blank subsequent to roughening the dental implant blank. By removing material, a cutting flute with a cutting edge, cutting surface and collector surface may be formed. The cutting surface and collector surface is relatively smooth compared to the cutting edge.
