A method and system for bone tissue regeneration in association with a predetermined dental bone structure obtains a computerized tomography scan of a dental bone structure on which to regenerate bone tissue. A three-dimensional model digitally represents the dental bone structure. A treatment plan corresponding to said three-dimensional model and a design order permit forming an occlusive barrier for covering the portion of the dental bone structure whereupon to regenerate bone tissue. An occlusive barrier from a biocompatible material and an osteoconductive material form flesh and regenerated bone tissue via osteoconduction. The occlusive barrier includes irrigation channels for permitting flushing of said interior volume and may be formed of pieces printed for forming a volume to regenerate bone tissue. The occlusive barrier may be subjected to a heat treatment for alleviating molecular stress and increasing occlusive barrier ductility and strength. Surface sandblasting treatment forms surface porosity promoting osteoconduction.

A dental implant for implantation into an oral environment of a patient includes a body having a coronal end, an apical end, an inner surface adjacent to coronal end, and an outer surface extending from the coronal end to the apical end. A first area of the dental implant is a first color and a second area of the dental implant is a second area. A method of making a dental implant includes providing a dental implant having a body with a coronal end, an apical end, an inner surface adjacent the coronal end, and an outer surface extending from the coronal end to the apical end; coloring a first area of the dental implant a first color; and coloring a second area of the dental implant a second color.

An implant (5, 13) and/or a unit (9), e.g. spacer sleeve, belonging to said implant is/are intended to extend through a hole (4) formed in a jaw bone (2) and through soft tissue (3) belonging to the jaw bone and to comprise one or more outer layers of principally titanium dioxide. Each layer consists of crystalline titanium dioxide which largely or completely assumes the anatase phase. The invention also relates to a method for production of such a dental implant (5, 13) and/or of a unit (9) belonging to it, which has one or more outer layers of titanium dioxide. The method is an anodic oxidation method in which the part or parts bearing the outer layer(s) is/are applied to electrolyte under voltage, e.g. comprising sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, and the voltage (U) and the dwell time of the part or parts in the electrolyte are chosen such that titanium dioxide, largely or completely assuming the crystalline anatase phase, is formed. Excellent bone guidance and soft tissue integration can be achieved in this way.
