DENTAL IMPLANT DRIVER ASSEMBLY WITH A DENTAL IMPLANT AND A RECEPTACLE AND INSTALLATION TOOL FOR SAME

摘要

In an implant driver assembly set comprising a dental implant and an inserti on post, the insertion post has a cylindrical portion and an adjoining shoulder with which the driv er assembly can be held in a constricted portion of a receptacle. A portion of the insertion post adjoining said shoulder in the direction of withdrawal provides frictional and/or interlocking engageme nt with an installation tool for withdrawing the implant driver assembly from the receptacle and for installing the implant at a site drilled in the jaw. The receptacle, preferably comprising a glass tube, is constricted radially about its circumference at the site of the holding means and closed at both end with sealing stoppers. The tool for withdrawing and screwing in the implant driver assemb ly comprises a tubular portion with a hex key socket at the open end of the inside wall and adjacen t an inner tubular diameter that produces frictional engagement with the insertion post when th ey are brought into contact. The method for inserting the implant of the implant driver assembly is characterized in that after removal of the sealing stopper on the withdrawal side of the receptacl e the tool is guided over the insertion post and made to engage frictionally with said post, that the driver assembly with the tool is then pulledout of the receptacle and screwed into the hole bored in the jaw, after which the screwed connection between the implant and the insertion post is released an d the insertion post is pulled off.
