Dental implant

A dental component comprising a recess having a first shaped area that has a taper along its length,

• wherein each horizontal cross-section of the first shaped area along its entire length has at least three primary directions in which the radius of the cross-section adopts a relative maximum value R0, and at least three secondary directions in which the radius of the cross-section adopts a relative minimum value r,
• wherein the outer contour of said each horizontal cross-section of the first shaped area is selected in such a way that it has precisely one tangent at each point and is intersected at two points, at most, by any straight line,
• wherein segments of the outer contour of said each horizontal cross-section between any two adjacent primary directions of the at least three or more primary directions are convex and correspond to a segment of an oval, and
• wherein said taper has a taper angle β between 5° and 10°, and
• wherein, when a second shaped area of a contact pin of a second dental component, the second shaped area having the shape of the inner contour of the first shaped area, is inserted in the first shaped area and rotated such that its longest radius is aligned with the shortest radius of the first shaped area, the height, h, between the bottom of the first shaped area and the bottom of the second shaped area is
