Scanbody for detecting the position and orientation of a dental implant. A scanbody including a bottom section capable of being connected to an implant, and also a three-dimensional scannable region having an asymmetrical geometry permitting unequivocal detection of its surface from different scanning directions in relation to a longitudinal center axis of the scanbody. The scannable region is provided, on its peripheral cylindrical surface, with scannable sections that are radially offset outwardly and/or inwardly in relation to the peripheral cylindrical surface, each of which scannable sections is differently shaped from the other scannable sections.
