Method and marker element to determine the position of a prosthetic element (2) which is fixed to the jaw (13) of a person, such as a dental implant, whereby an image is formed of the jaw or of a reproduction model of this jaw which is provided with the prosthetic element (2), by means of X-rays or magnetic resonance. At least one marker element (3) is hereby provided to said prosthetic element (2) which produces a strong contrast in imaging techniques. The position of the marker element (3) in relation to the jaw is determined on the basis of the image which is formed by means of X-rays or via magnetic resonance, and the position of said prosthetic element (2) is then derived from the observed position of the marker element (3).

Cette invention concerne un procédé et un élément de marquage permettant de déterminer la position d'un élément de prothèse (2) qui se fixe sur la mâchoire (13) d'une personne, tel qu'un implant dentaire. A cette fin, on forme une image de la mâchoire ou d'un modèle reproduit de cette mâchoire et muni de l'élément de prothèse (2) par rayons X ou par résonance magnétique. L'élément de prothèse (2) est assorti d'au moins un élément de marquage (3) qui produit un fort contraste avec les technique d'imagerie. La position du marqueur (3) par rapport à la mâchoire est déterminée à partir de l'image obtenue par rayons X ou par résonance magnétique, puis la position dudit élément de prothèse (2) est déduite de celle de l'élément de marquage (3).
