Abstract
A device is provided for determining the angulation of an abutment for a dental implant. The device includes a conical projection extending from a housing. The conical projection is adapted for insertion into a hole in the dental implant. A rotary body is disposed in the housing and is rotatable among a plurality of different angular positions relative to the conical projection. A rod-shaped indicator is connected to the rotary body. The rotary body can be secured to the housing in one of the angular positions by a locking device. The device may be part of an assembly that includes an indicator device having a receiving opening for accommodating the conical projection and an indicator scale that includes a plurality of marked sectors corresponding to a plurality of predefined abutments, respectively. The location of the rod-shaped indicator relative to the marked sectors indicates the predefined abutment that should be selected.
