The scan-adapter is a location and orientation identifier for use in identifying location and orientation within a scanning imaging system. In particular, the scan-adapter can be fixed to an implant for scanning the position and orientation of the implant. After scanning the scan-adapter and its environment, such as the dentition of a person, corresponding prosthetics can be manufactured and fixed to the implant in the same manner or similar manner as the scan-adapter.
The scan adaptor according to the present design comprises a spherical head having two missing spherical segments so that the spherical head comprises two circular flat surface areas, one at the top and one at the front. However, there is an optional bore extending from the circular flat area at the top through the body. The head is connected to a first cylindrical middle part at the bottom side of the head. The first cylindrical middle part is connected to a second cylindrical middle part on the bottom side of the first cylindrical middle part. The second cylindrical middle part is connected to a third cylindrical part on the bottom side of the second cylindrical middle part. The three cylindrical parts are arranged co-axial to each other, wherein the common longitudinal axis of the three cylindrical parts extends through the center of the spherical head and through the center of the circular flat area at the top of the head. At the bottom of the body, there is an optional bottom part comprising a truncated cone section on the bottom side of the third cylindrical part and a fourth cylindrical part having a rounded bottom edge at the bottom of the body.
Broken lines in the drawings show environment and are not part of the claimed design.
