A post-shaped element for determining the alignment 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 surrounding tissue structures, can be introduced with a receiving section ( 28, 26 A) into an adapted receiving recess ( 10 ) in the implant ( 1 ) or the artificial indentation, and be affixed therein and removed again. In a connecting position the post-shaped element protrudes with a cantilever section ( 26 K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess ( 10 ) or the artificial indentation. In order to be able determine the correct position of the post-shaped element in relation to the implant ( 1 ) in a simple and reliable manner without X-ray images, it is suggested that the post-shaped element contain a through-hole extending in the direction of its longitudinal axis, through which a rod device ( 32 ) can be guided, which with a distal stop surface ( 36 ) can be brought into contact with a stop surface ( 37 ) on the base of the receiving recess ( 10 ) of the implant ( 1 ). |
