Abstract: A registration and identification tool (1) for an instrument (100), comprising a body (2), a marker member (3) which is optically detectable and provided on the body (2), and a recess (4) in the body (2) which extends from an outer surface of the body (2) into the inside of the body (2), thereby defining an extension direction of the recess (4), wherein the recess (4) has a shape such that a lateral extension of the recess (4) decreases in the direction from the outer surface of the body (2) towards the inside of the body (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a navigation system for dental and cranio-maxillofacial surgery, comprising a surgical handpiece (2), an imaging unit (4) which is movably attached to the surgical handpiece (2), and a marker member (6; 44, 46) which is attachable to a cranial bone, a facial bone (26), a tooth or teeth of a patient. The marker member (6; 44, 46) comprises a plurality of marker elements (8, 10; 46) which are detectable by the imaging unit (4). Further, the invention relates to a positioning tool (40) for use with the navigation system, wherein the positioning tool (40) is configured for positioning the marker member (44, 46) on a patient's cranial bone, facial bone (26), tooth or teeth and comprises a die element (42) and the marker member (44, 46).
