ASCERTAINING THE SPATIAL POSITIONS AND ORIENTATIONS OF IMPLANTS ANCHORED IN A JAW OF A PATIENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for ascertaining the spatial positions and orientations of at least two implants (120) anchored in the jaw of a patient, having the following steps: 1. producing an adhesive bond aid (100) which bridges the implants and has negative molds (140) of adhesive caps (110), wherein the negative molds fit on the adhesive caps when the adhesive caps are fixed on the implants, and the negative molds leave a clearance relative to the adhesive caps; 2. the adhesive caps are fixed on the at least two implants in the jaw of the patient; 3. the adhesive bond aid is positioned over the adhesive caps; 4. the clearance between the adhesive caps and the negative molds is filled with adhesive; 5. the adhesive is hardened; 6. the adhesive caps are removed from the implants; and 7. the obtained adhesion key is removed from the patient. The adhesion key can be used to ensure that when producing restorations which sit on multiple implants, the implant arrangement is transferred correctly in the mouth of the patient.
