Abstract
The present application relates to reference body for intraoral scan procedures adapted to be releasably mountable to a dental implant. The reference body comprises a cylindrical body portion extending along a longitudinal axis from an apical end to a coronal end, the apical end abutting the dental implant in a mounted state of the reference body, a coronal end surface defining the coronal end of the reference body, a first radial protrusion protruding from the body portion in a first radial direction, and a second radial protrusion protruding from the body portion in a second radial direction. The first radial protrusion and the second radial protrusion have different cross-sectional shapes in a cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the reference body.
