Abstract
To provide a dental abutment which is strongly adhered with a gingiva, can prevent invasion of bacteria into the jawbone, and hardly causes bone resorption and soft tissue shrinkage, a dental abutment (1) being fixed on the oral cavity inner side of a dental implant fixture (F) to penetrate a gingiva and becoming a base of a dental prosthesis (P) is structured such that a spiral projection or a plurality of ring-like projections having approximately equal intervals are formed along a circumferential direction on an outer periphery of the dental abutment contacting with the gingiva, and the projection has a width of 1 to 500 μm and a height of 1 to 500 μm.
