Abstract:
The invention concerns a dental implant or prosthetic component. Said implant comprises a metallic core (1) and an outer ceramic sleeve (2) enclosing at least partly the core (1), both being assembled together by bonding. The outer ceramic layer consists of a sleeve (2) separate from the core (1), nested thereon by sliding and fixed by bonding, by providing therebetween a resist (3) for the adhesive with sufficient volume to absorb the impacts to which the implant is subjected but without inducing a significant clearance between the core (1) and the ceramic sleeve (2).
