Abstract: A dental implant including a base body, anchorable in a jawbone, defining a bone line and having formed therein an axial hole having an internally threaded portion extending from a first location to a second location, the axial hole defining a first length L1 extending from the first location to the bone line, the base body having formed thereon an externally threaded portion and defining a bearing surface, an implant superstructure configured to be attached to the base body and to contact the bearing surface, and a screw configured for attaching the implant superstructure to the base body, whereby in an assembled state, the dental implant defines a distance L3, between a location at which the screw threadably engages the internally threaded portion and a location at which a shoulder of the screw engages a shoulder of the implant superstructure, which is substantially greater than the first length L1.

Abstract: A dental implant installation assembly including a dental implant body having an opening and at least a first surface peripheral to the opening, an implantation tool having a portion adapted for insertion in the opening and at least a second surface peripheral to the portion and a screw for connecting the implantation tool to the dental implant body such that when the portion is inserted in the opening and the at least first and second surfaces are in mutual contact and a torque is exerted by the implantation tool on the dental implant body during installation of the dental implant body, the torque is distributed over the dental implant body at least as a torsion torque at the opening and a friction torque at the first surface.
