Abstract: The invention relates to a dental implant having various regions with different degrees of surface roughness.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a ceramic implant with a surface which forms a permanent bonding to bone cell tissues, the surface providing improved osseointegration, the process comprising the step of:—a pretreatment of the ceramic material with the surface wherein said surface of the ceramic material is exposed to a conditioning plasma, which is produced by means of direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), such as high or radio frequency (HF, RF), or microwaves (MW) at a low pressure, followed by a second step;—a treatment with a reactive plasma in which an organic compound is added to the plasma for the at least partial application of an organic phase to said surface wherein the organic compound is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic amines, cyclic amines, unsaturated and aromatic amines as well as combinations thereof.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of ceramic dental implants having a surface for improving osseointegration, wherein the following process steps are performed for preparing such surface: —preparation of a ceramic blank having a surface; —treating at least one partial area of the surface of the ceramic blank by an ablating process that produces a surface roughness of the surface that corresponds to a treatment by sand blasting under a blasting pressure of from 1.5 bar to 8 bar and with a grain size of the blasting media used for sand blasting of from 30 ?m to 250 ?m; —followed by a chemical treatment of said at least one partial area of the surface of the ceramic blank treated with the ablating process; —followed by a thermal treatment of the blank whose surface has been subjected to said ablating and chemical treatments at temperatures of >125° C. > A ceramic body obtainable by the process according to the invention is also described.
