A post-shaped element for determining the spatial position of an implant (10), or the opening cross-section of an artificial indentation located in a tooth or in the stroma of a human or animal body, relative to the tissue structures surrounding it, can be introduced with a receiving section (26A) into an adapted receiving recess (10) in the implant (1) or in the artificial indentation, be affixed therein to be torsion resistant and able to again be removed there-from. In a connecting position the post-shaped element protrudes with a cantilever section (26K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) or artificial indentation. To be able to easily remove the post-shaped element embedded in the impression mass, even in the case of a slanted position of the implant (1) or the longitudinal axis of the artificial indentation in relation to the surrounding tissue structures, it is suggested to ensure that the post-shaped element consists of a bottom portion (24), which can be torsion-resistantly fixated in the receiving recess (10) or the artificial indentation, and a top portion (25), which can be inserted torsion-resistantly in the bottom portion (24) or placed on said portion, wherein the top portion (25), proceeding from the connecting position of the post-shaped element, can be removed in a linear fashion from the bottom portion (24) in various directions.
Post-shaped element for determining the spatial position of an implant (10), or the opening cross-section of an artificial indentation located in a tooth or in the stroma of a human or animal body, relative to the tissue structures surrounding it, wherein the post-shaped element with a receiving recess (26A) can be introduced into an adapted receiving recess (10) in the implant (1) or in the artificial indentation, be fixed therein to be torsion-resistant, and again be removed therefrom, where the connecting position protrudes with a cantilever section (26K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) or the artificial indentation, characterized by the fact that the post-shaped element consists of a bottom portion (24, 24′), which can be adapted to the receiving recess (10) or the artificial indentation, and a top portion (25, 25′), which can be placed on top, where the top portion (25, 25′), proceeding from the connecting position of the post-shaped element, can be removed in a linear fashion from the bottom portion (24, 24′) in various directions.
Post-shaped element for determining the spatial position of an implant (10), or the opening cross-section of an artificial indentation located in a tooth or in the stroma of a human or animal body, relative to the tissue structures surrounding it, wherein the post-shaped element with a receiving section (26A) can be introduced into a receiving recess (10) in the implant (1) or in the artificial indentation in a torsion-resistant manner and removed therefrom again and in a connecting position protrudes with a cantilever section (26K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) or the artificial indentation, characterized by the fact that the cantilever section (26K) rests with a stop surface (30) against a proximal end face (5) of the implant (1) of the tooth or the stroma and that the receiving section (26A) has a base cross-section, the limiting lines of which coincide in the connecting position, at least in some sections, with the limiting line of the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) and, extending from the base cross-section, is tapered in the direction of its distal end such that the post-shaped element, proceeding from the connecting position, can be removed in a linear fashion from the implant (1) in various directions.
