The invention provides a method for inserting an insertion part of a two-part zirconium-like implant into the jawbone at high force without breaking in order in this way to increase the primary stability of the implant in the jawbone. This is made possible by providing an insertion part at the outside of two or more protrusions at the level of the jawbone line over which an insertion instrument with recesses fits which engages these protrusions in order to subsequently insert the insertion part into the jawbone. The sleeve-shaped insertion instrument with the recesses and the neck of the insertion part with the two or more protrusions can be shaped in such a way that they fit precisely together or that a connection resembling a cardan coupling is produced, so that the implantologist can hold the insertion instrument in various positions above the insertion part while the desired direction of insertion is still maintained.
Insertion part of a two-part zirconium implant and an insertion instrument for inserting the insertion part into the jawbone, characterized in that an insertion part (1) is provided with two or more protrusions (2) at the outside which can be engaged by an insertion instrument (3) with recesses (4) with the aim of subsequently inserting the insertion part (1) into the jawbone.
Insertion part of a two-part zirconium implant and an insertion instrument for inserting the insertion part into the jawbone according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the sleeve-shaped (11) upper rim of the insertion instrument (3) and the neck (15) of the insertion part (1) are shaped so as to fit together.
Insertion part of a two-part zirconium implant and an insertion instrument for inserting the insertion part into the jawbone, characterized in that the insertion instrument (3) with recesses (4) fitting over two or more protrusions (2) of the insertion part (1) allows, by way of the sleeve-shaped (11) upper rim and the spherically shaped neck (8) of the insertion part (1), a connection (14) which resembles a cardan coupling.
Insertion part of a two-part zirconium implant and an insertion instrument for inserting the insertion part into the jawbone according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the insertion part (1) has a straight-shaped neck (15).
Insertion part of a two-part zirconium implant and an insertion instrument for inserting the insertion part into the jawbone according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the insertion part (1) has a spherically shaped neck (8).
Insertion part of a two-part zirconium implant and an insertion instrument for inserting the insertion part into the jawbone according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the stem of the insertion instrument (3) with recesses (4) is made so as to be suitable for clamping in a machine (13).
Insertion part of a two-part zirconium implant and an insertion instrument for inserting the insertion part into the jawbone according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the insertion instrument (3) with recesses (4) is made so as to be suitable for manual operation.
