1. A dental implant comprising:
a body having a coronal part and an apical part that are continuous with one another, said apical part has a core and at least two external threads having a thread pitch of at least 1.5 mm extending along said core, said coronal part being located coronally to said at least two external threads, at least part of said coronal part being an intra-bony coronal part, an external surface of said intra-bony coronal part and an external surface of said apical part are both being a rough external surface configured to be in contact with bone;
said coronal part has a tapered socket becoming narrower apically for receiving a prosthetic element, apically to said tapered socket said dental implant has a first non-circular socket, apically to said first non-circular socket said dental implant has a second non-circular socket, apically to said second non-circular socket said dental implant has an internal thread;
said prosthetic element being fixated to said dental implant, said prosthetic element has a non-circular protrusion, said non-circular protrusion of said prosthetic element engages at least part of said first non-circular socket and at least part of said second non-circular socket so said at least part of said first non-circular socket prevents rotation of said prosthetic element and said at least part of said second non-circular socket prevents rotation of said prosthetic element;
at least part of said coronal part that surrounds said first non-circular socket has a cylindrical segment having external walls which are parallel to a central longitudinal axis of said dental implant;
said cylindrical segment has at least one external slot;
and wherein an overall external diameter of said cylindrical segment being smaller than an overall external diameter of said body.
