The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a bone superstructure (4) and a dental implant system with an implant (5) and a bone superstructure (4) to at least partly fill bone defects (2) in a jaw (1), whereby the bone superstructure (4) has a bone side (11) which is intended to extend opposite the bone which surrounds said bone defect (2) and a free side (10) onto which the gingiva (9) should connect, whereby this bone superstructure (4) has at least one recess (6) with a circular cross section extending between said bone side (11) and said free side (10), which recess (6) has a conical wall (8) and whereby the implant (5) is conical over at least a part (14) of its height, such that it can be mounted in the recess (6) in a substantially fitting manner.
Dental implant system with an implant (5) and a bone superstructure (4) to at least partly fill bone defects (2) in a jaw (1), whereby the bone superstructure (4) has a bone side (11) which is intended to extend opposite the bone which surrounds said bone defect (2) and a free side (10) onto which the gingiva (9) should connect, whereby this bone superstructure (4) has at least one recess (6) with a circular cross section extending between said bone side (11) and said free side (10), which recess (6) makes it possible to fix the implant (5) through this recess (6) in the jaw bone (1), characterised in that said recess (6) has a conical wall (8) and the implant (5) is conical over at least a part (14) of its height, such that it can be mounted in the recess (6) in a substantially fitting manner.
Method for manufacturing a bone superstructure (4) to at least partly fill a bone defect (2) in a jaw (1), whereby a three-dimensional image of at least a part of the jaw (1) is generated where said bone defect (2) is situated, and a shape for said bone superstructure (4) is determined on the basis of said image having a bone side (11) which is to connect to the bone round said bone defect (2) and a free side (10) onto which the gingiva (9) are to connect, whereby an implant (5) is selected with a head (12) for fixing a dental prosthesis and a far end (13) opposite to this head (12) which is to be fixed in the jaw bone (1), whereby the implant (5) between this head (12) and said far end (13) is at least partly conical, characterised in that at least one recess (6) is provided in the bone superstructure (4) extending between said bone side (11) and said free side (10), whereby this recess (6) is at least partly conical, such that said implant (5) can be fit in said recess (6) with its conical part.
