ABSTRACT:
A container shaped to allow a dental technician to avoid touching or contaminating a dental implant and healing screw stored therein while placement of these at a dental surgical site. The container has a carrier for storing the implant and healing screw. A transparent hood seals the carrier from the ambient. The dental implant is held at an end thereof within the carrier with its longitudinal axis normal to the longitudinal axis of the healing screw in its position in a cavity in the carrier. A tool passage in the carrier provides access to the cavity for a placement tool that is attached to the healing screw in order to remove the same from the carrier. A cylindrical base on the carrier, terminated at opposite ends thereof by radially projecting flanges, provides a gripping surface for the thumb and index finger of a dental technician during removal of the implant and healing screw from the carrier. The flanges serve as a tactilely sensed positioning guide for digitally gripping the carrier while a dental technician removes the transparent hood, implant, and healing screw from the carrier.
