Dental implant system

Abstract

A dental-implant system (1) having a first implant part (2) provided for being inserted into a jawbone and having a second implant part (4) associated therewith, provided for fixing a dental prosthetic piece, the implant parts (2, 4) being mechanically connectable to each other via a connection pin (8) which is formed onto one of the implant parts (4) and which can be pushed into a receiving channel (10) provided in the other implant part (2), and the cross-section of the connection pin (8) and the cross-section of the receiving channel (10) associated therewith each presenting in an indexing area a number of main directions (20) in which the radius takes in each case a relative maximum value, shall offer an even increased mechanic load-carrying ability and thus a particularly long service life when used in the patient's mouth. For this purpose, according to the invention, the outer cross-section of the implant part (2) including the receiving channel (10) is configured such that its radius also takes a relative maximum value within a tolerance range (22) of each of the main directions (20).
