A dental implant for insertion in the jaw bone of a patient is provided. The dental implant has an elongated body having a longitudinal axis and a coronal end, an interior bore extending longitudinally from the coronal end, and a plurality of longitudinally extending anti-rotation structures formed at the inner circumference of the interior bore. The anti-rotation structures have a first set of anti-rotation structures constituting a first anti-rotation feature and a second set of anti-rotation structures constituting a second anti-rotation feature which is independent from the first anti-rotation feature. The anti-rotation structures of the first set and the anti-rotation structures of the second set extend in part over a common length along the longitudinal axis.

Dental implant and kit including said dental implant

A holding device for retaining and transporting a dental implant, particularly a dental implant stored in an ampule having preserving fluid, is provided. The holding device has a securing section, which has a force transmission element for rotationally securing the dental implant and an attachment element having one or more resilient arms formed integrally with and distally of the force transmission element, for longitudinally retaining the dental implant. The resilient arms do not extend beyond the radial perimeter of the force transmission element. The resilient arms can be transformed between a first operative configuration and a second compressed configuration under forces during operation, to allow a radially enlarged end of the arms to releasably engage an undercut of the dental implant.

Holding device for dental implant

A housing () for an implant (), a holding piece () to connect the implant () to the housing (), and an insertion tool () for inserting the implant () into an implant site. The holding piece () includes at least one resilient element () for detachably connecting to the implant () with a first retentive force and a tool retention means to connect to the insertion tool () with a second retentive force which is greater than the first retentive force. In between the two ends the holding piece () features a housing connection segment () for connecting the holding piece () to the housing (). On a distal end the insertion tool () comprises torque transmission means, which transmit torque directly to the holding piece () and/or to the implant ().
