The present invention provides Dental implant configured to be inserted into a hole in jaw bone and to be at least partially situated in bone tissue when implanted, comprising: a coronal implant region, the surface of which is at least partly covered by an oxide layer with an average thickness in the range from 60 nm to 170 nm and has an average arithmetical mean height Sa in the range from 0.1 μm to 1.0 μm. Further provided is a component for dental applications, preferably dental abutment, wherein the surface of the component is at least partly covered by an oxide layer with an average thickness in the range from 60 nm to 170 nm and has an average arithmetical mean height Sa in the range from 0.05 μm to 0.5 μm and an implant system comprising the dental implant and the component. Method for forming a protective layer on the surface of an implantable or implant component, the method comprising a) applying a solution on the surface of component, the solution having a pH at 25° C. of 6.8 or less and b) drying the solution applied in step a) to form a protective layer on the surface of the component for dental applications. Finally, part of the present invention is an implantable or implant component having a protective layer obtainable as above and a use of such layer for storage.
