A method is proposed for ascertaining the spatial positions and orientations of at least two implants (120) anchored in a jaw of a patient, said method having the following steps: 1. An adhesive bond aid (100) is produced that bridges the implants and has negative molds (140) of adhesive caps (110), wherein the negative molds fit on the adhesive caps if these are affixed to the implants, and wherein the negative molds allow a clearance relative to the adhesive caps. 2. The adhesive caps are affixed to the at least two implants in the jaw of the patient. 3. The adhesive bond aid is positioned over the adhesive caps. 4. The clearance between the adhesive caps and the negative molds is filled with adhesive. 5. The adhesive is cured. 6. The adhesive caps are released from the implants. 7. The obtained adhesion key is removed from the patient. Using this adhesion key, in the production of restorations that rest upon multiple implants, it can be ensured that the implant arrangement is correctly transferred into the mouth of the patient.
