Abstract of US2003232309
A bone implant, in particular a dental implant, has an implant body which is joined to an abutment body. A metal layer is arranged on the surface of the implant body or the abutment body. The metal layer extends over at least a portion of the contact area between the implant body and the abutment body and comprises a lower hardness than the abutment body and/or the implant body in the contact area. The metal layer provides an intimate, jointless and lasting connection between the implant body and the abutment body.
