<p>Disclosed are an implant-driver assembly and an associated method. Generally, the implant-driver assembly includes a driver, an implant and a coupler that affixes the implant to the driver during transport and during insertion of the implant into the jaw of a patient. As shipped, the assembly may take the form of a superassembly with a vial insert that impedes axial movement of the driver, coupler, and implant. Via manual action or assisted with a suitable tool, the coupler may be disengaged to thereby decouple the implant and driver once the implant has been properly positioned. Also disclosed is a method for inserting an implant, the method comprising applying torque to the driver of an implant-driver assembly as disclosed herein.</p> |
