An abutment is obtained that enables an operation of detaching the abutment from a fixture to be readily performed without having a patient open his/her mouth wide while inhibiting accidental ingestion or swallowing of an abutment that comes off. In a dental implant 100 comprising a fixture 110 and an abutment 120, when a fitting recess 121 of the abutment 120 is fitted onto a fixture head 112 so that a space is formed between a top surface 112b 1 of the fixture head 112 and a bottom surface 121a of the fitting recess 121, the fixture head 112 is secured to the fitting recess 121 by a frictional force, and an instrument insertion hole 129 for inserting an instrument for disengaging the securement by the frictional force in the space is formed on a sidewall 121c of the fitting recess 121.
