(Problem)To obtain improved bio-affinity and high bone attachment in an implant body,a method of manufacture for the implant body, and a dental implant.(Means of Solution)The implant body 2 is fixed in a contact configuration to bone, and includesthe base material 2a formed from zirconia, and a surface layer 2b formed onthesurface of the base material 2a and having a lower hardness than the basematerial 2a.Therefore, in addition to having superior mechanical strength due to thezirconia basematerial 2a, the soft and flexible surface layer 2b functions as a bufferlayer tomitigate the difference in the degree of hardness between the bone and thebasematerial 2a, and therefore the soft surface further improves the bone adhesioncharacteristics.
