An oval opening disposed at the top end comprises an opening edge lying in an opening plane inclined with an angle of inclination of 75° to 45° with respect to the axial line so that the implant body has an axial length on the acute-angled long side longer than on the obtuse-angled short side. An external thread structure comprises a lead comprising a lower side facing the base end, an upper side facing the top end, and a wedge angle disposed between the upper side and the lower side. A bisecting line of the wedge angle and the axial line of the implant body form a tilt angle which is smaller on the acute-angled long side than on the obtuse-angled short side. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A jaw implant comprising an implant body comprising a top end configured to fasten a prosthetic implant abutment; a base end configured to be inserted into a patient's jaw; an axial line; an acute-angled long side; an obtuse-angled short side; a body core; an oval opening disposed at the top end, the oval opening comprising an opening edge lying in an opening plane which is inclined with an angle of inclination of 75° to 45° with respect to the axial line so that the implant body has an axial length on the acute-angled long side which is longer than on the obtuse-angled short side; and an external thread structure configured to thread the implant body into a jaw bone, the external thread structure consisting of one lead which extends on a continuous screw line with a constant pitch around the axial line and which is configured to protrude laterally from the body core, wherein, the lead has a wedge-like shape and comprises a lower side facing the base end, an upper side facing the top end, the upper side and the lower side defining a wedge angle, and a bisecting line of the wedge angle and the axial line of the implant body form a tilt angle which is smaller on the acute-angled long side than on the obtuse-angled short side. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The jaw implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the tilt angle on the acute-angled long side is <90° and the tilt angle on the obtuse-angled short side is >90°. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The jaw implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the wedge angle is constant over a circumference. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The jaw implant as recited in claim 1, wherein at least one of the upper side and the lower side are planer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The jaw implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the body core is configured to taper down to the base end. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The jaw implant as recited in claim 5, wherein the implant body further comprises an outer radius, and wherein the lead further comprises a radial lead depth which is configured to increase towards the base end such that the outer radius is constant for several turns of the lead. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The jaw implant as recited in claim 5, wherein the body core is configured to taper down conically to the base end. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The jaw implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the lead further comprises a radial lead depth which is configured to increase towards the base end. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The jaw implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the implant body further comprises at least one closed raised support ring disposed at the top end, wherein a ring plane of each of the at least one closed raised support ring is uninterrupted and parallel to the opening plane. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The jaw implant as recited in claim 1, wherein the lead further comprises a trapezoidal cross section. ### Claim 11 A jaw implant comprising an implant body comprising a top end configured to fasten a prosthetic implant abutment; a base end configured to be inserted into a patient's jaw; an axial line; an acute-angled long side; an obtuse-angled short side; a body core; an oval opening disposed at the top end, the oval opening comprising an opening edge lying in an opening plane which is inclined with an angle of inclination of 75° to 45° with respect to the axial line so that the implant body has an axial length on the acute-angled long side which is longer than on the obtuse-angled short side; at least one closed raised support ring disposed at the top end, wherein a ring plane of each of the at least one closed raised support ring is uninterrupted, is parallel to the opening plane, and is non-perpendicular to the axial line; and an external thread structure configured to thread the implant body into a jaw bone, the external thread structure consisting of one lead which extends on a continuous screw line with a constant pitch around the axial line and which is configured to protrude laterally from the body core, wherein, the lead has a wedge-like shape and comprises a lower side facing the base end, an upper side facing the top end, the upper side and the lower side defining a wedge angle, a bisecting line of the wedge angle and the axial line of the implant body form a tilt angle which is smaller on the acute-angled long side than on the obtuse-angled short side, the upper side of the lead facing the top end on the obtuse-angled short side is substantially parallel to the opening plane, and the lower side of the lead facing the base on the acute-angled long side is substantially parallel to the opening plane. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The jaw implant as recited in claim 11, wherein the tilt angle on the acute-angled long side is <90° and the tilt angle on the obtuse-angled short side is >90°. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The jaw implant as recited in claim 11, wherein the wedge angle is constant over a circumference. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The jaw implant as recited in claim 11, wherein at least one of the upper side and the lower side are planer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The jaw implant as recited in claim 11, wherein the body core is configured to taper down to the base end. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The jaw implant as recited in claim 15, wherein the implant body further comprises an outer radius, and wherein the lead further comprises a radial lead depth which is configured to increase towards the base end such that the outer radius is constant for several turns of the lead. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The jaw implant as recited in claim 15, wherein the body core is configured to taper down conically to the base end. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The jaw implant as recited in claim 11, wherein the lead further comprises a radial lead depth which is configured to increase towards the base end. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The jaw implant as recited in claim 11, wherein the lead further comprises a trapezoidal cross section.
