Abstract
Abstract Dental implant ( 10 ) for rotation into the bone tissue of a jaw bone consisting of a body having an axis of rotation, a coronal end surface ( 5 ), an apical end surface ( 1 ) and a generally cylindrical section ( 7 ) which has a coronal edge coincident with, or in close proximity to, the coronal end surface and an outer peripheral surface which extends apically towards the apical end surface from the coronal edge. The outer peripheral surface is presented by a circumferentially-oriented roughness ( 19 ) comprising a series of circumferentially-oriented peaks which are axially spaced apart by troughs and oriented at an inclined angle to the axis of rotation. The height from the troughs to the peaks throughout the circumferentially-oriented roughness is greater than 0.2 mm.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A dental implant for rotation into the bone tissue of a jaw bone consisting of a body having: (a) an axis of rotation; (b) a coronal end surface; (c) an apical end surface; and (d) a generally cylindrical section which has: (i) a coronal edge in close proximity to, the coronal end surface, and (ii) an outer peripheral surface which extends apically towards the apical end surface from the coronal edge and is presented by a circumferentially-oriented roughness comprising a series of circumferentially-oriented peaks which are axially spaced apart by troughs and oriented at an inclined angle to the axis of rotation; wherein the height from the troughs to the peaks throughout the circumferentially-oriented roughness is greater than 0.2 mm, and the coronal edge of the generally cylindrical section is spaced from the coronal end surface of the body by no more than approximately 4% of the distance between the coronal and apical end surfaces of the body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A dental implant for rotation into the bone tissue of a jaw bone consisting of a body having: (a) an axis of rotation; (b) a coronal end surface; (c) an apical end surface; and (d) a generally cylindrical section which has: (i) a coronal edge in close proximity to, the coronal end surface, and (ii) an outer peripheral surface which extends apically towards the apical end surface from the coronal edge and is presented by a circumferentially-oriented roughness comprising a series of circumferentially-oriented peaks which are axially spaced apart by troughs and oriented at an inclined angle to the axis of rotation; wherein the height from the troughs to the peaks throughout the circumferentially-oriented roughness is greater than 0.2 mm, and the coronal edge of the generally cylindrical section is spaced from the coronal end surface of the body by no more than approximately 4% of the distance between the coronal and apical end surfaces of the body.
