Abstract: The invention relates to a trans-mucosal component for a dental implant intended to support a prosthetic installation. The trans-mucosal component has been designed for the purpose of improving the quality and stability of the biological adhesion of the junctional epithelium and of the connective tissue and wherein the trans-mucosal component (2) is provided with a waist-shaped or inwardly narrowed part for reducing the necessary height of the trans-mucosal component and creating a volume for generation of a stabilizing and retentive belt of soft tissue. According to the invention the distance in the longitudinal direction along the contact surface of the waist-shaped or narrowed part should at least correspond to the required, biological width of the adjoining soft tissue.
