The present invention relates to a dental implant assembly, comprising a fixture for insertion into a jawbone which is provided with a first thread with a first thread start, and a dental component which is not axially symmetrical and which is provided at its apical end with a second thread with a second thread start having a rotational position which is known in relation to the asymmetrical shape of the dental component for engagement with the first thread. The fixture is provided with a distinguishable fixture index which has a known rotational position in relation to the first thread start. When the fixture has been inserted into the jawbone and the dental component has been fully installed therein, the rotational orientation of the fixture index in relation to the surrounding anatomy determines the rotational orientation of the asymmetrical shape of the dental component in relation to the surrounding anatomy. The invention also relates to a dental component and to a method of manufacturing a dental component.
