The present invention relates to an insertion post (12) for inserting an implant (10) into a jaw bone. The insertion post (12) comprises a first drive portion (16) for transferring a torque to the insertion post (12), and a second drive portion for transferring a torque from the insertion post (12) to the implant (10). The insertion post (12) can be connected releasably to the implant (10) in such a way that in the connection there is a clear relationship between the position of the implant (10) and the position of the insertion post (12), and it comprises a scan body portion (14) which permits a determination of the position of the insertion post (12) by means of an intraoral scanner.
