Anatomical dental implant arranged to be implanted in a naturally occurring cavity of the jawbone

An anatomical dental implant (5) adapted to be implanted in a naturally occurring cavity (1) of the jawbone (3), the cavity being exposed in the jawbone upon removing at least one tooth, the implant (5) consisting of:

• (i) at its apical side a root part (6) adapted to anchor the implant (5) in the cavity (1), the root part size (6) being larger than the cavity (1) and
• (ii) at its occlusal side an abutment part (7) adapted for supporting a dental prosthetic element (8), wherein the abutment part (7) is formed together with the root part (6) as a continuous structure and the root part (6) comprises an outer surface (11) adapted to come into contact with the cavity walls (12), and the root part (6) comprises an outer section (13) adjacent to the outer surface (11) of the root part (6), wherein:
• the root part (6) is a non-axisymmetric porous structure comprising a three-dimensional network of open interconnected pores, wherein the three-dimensional network of open interconnected pores is formed by a three-dimensional network of struts (16) having opposite ends, wherein the struts (16) are interconnected at their ends to form a plurality of nodes (17), wherein the outer section (13) of the root part (6) is adapted to deform plastically inwardly upon insertion of the root part (6) into the cavity (1) using compressive force to partially conform the root part (6) to the shape and size of the cavity (1), and
• a length of the struts (16) of the porous structure in the outer section (13) of the root part (6) is between 1 mm and 5 mm, a width of the struts (16) of the porous structure in the outer section (13) of the root part (6) is between 50 μm and 400 μm, and a ratio of length to width of the struts (16) of the porous structure in the outer section (13) is between 5 and 25.
