A registration and identification tool () for an instrument (), comprising a body (), a marker member () which is optically detectable and provided on the body (), and a recess () in the body () which extends from an outer surface of the body () into the inside of the body (), thereby defining an extension direction of the recess (), wherein the recess () has a shape such that a lateral extension of the recess () decreases in the direction from the outer surface of the body () towards the inside of the body (). A method for registration and identification of an instrument () comprising by placing a surgical tool () of the surgical instrument () into the recess () of the tool (), pivoting the surgical instrument () relative to the marker member () while the surgical tool () is placed inside the recess (), performing a detecting process of the relative movement of the surgical instrument (), and identifying geometrical characteristics of the surgical tool () and/or registering the relative position of the surgical tool () to the remainder of the surgical instrument () using the results of the detecting process.

The invention relates to an implant for a palate, in particular a human palate. The implant comprises a proximal portion, a distal portion and a middle portion. The proximal portion is dimensioned in such a way that it can be fixed to a hard palate. The distal portion is arranged at an angle in relation to the proximal portion and is dimensioned in such a way that it can be accommodated completely in a soft palate. The middle portion extends between the proximal portion and the distal portion. In a sectional plane extending through the proximal portion and the distal portion, the curvature of the middle portion at each of its points is greater than the curvature of the proximal portion at each of its points and greater than the curvature of the distal portion at each of its points.

Implant

Implant () with a base body having at least one bone contact surface (K) and at least one soft tissue contact surface (W), characterized in that the soft tissue contact surface (W) and/or a transition area (U) from bone contact surface (K) to soft tissue contact surface (W) have/has at least partially a ceramic coating (), and in that the bone contact surface (K) has areas not provided with a ceramic coating ().
