Abstract
A position capturing device for tooth implants in a patient's mouth includes multiple position capturing units, each with an elongated transfer post with a shank. The device includes a tooth implant interface and a bore configured to receive a tooth implant screw. The device includes a carrier unit, configured to interconnect the position capturing units, that includes a carrier element and first and second fixing elements. The first fixing element includes a fastening element configured to pivotably and lockably attach to the carrier element, a shank-receiving element with a sleeve-shaped portion configured to be plugged onto the shank, and a clamping screw connecting the fastening element and the shank-receiving element to be rotatable relative to each other. The fastening element includes a sleeve-shaped portion configured to surround the carrier element and allow a displacement of the fastening element along the carrier element.
