Abstract
An implant is arranged with a thread which can be exposed to a jaw bone and which has a first extent in the longitudinal direction of the implant. Thread flanks are assigned second extents between the inner and outer peripheries of the thread. Along all or most of the first extent, the thread flanks are arranged with one or more grooves that can extend in the peripheral direction and can be situated on the second extents. The groove or grooves are arranged to participate in the process by which the implant fuses with the jaw bone (2).
