Abstract
An implant carrier device for removable engagement with a dental implant includes a linear body member having first and second faceted exterior ends and an axial bore there through. A screw member having a head end and a threaded end is rotationally captured within the axial bore, with the threaded end extending exterior the second end of the carrier device. The threaded end of the screw member is adapted for rotational engagement of a threaded well within a dental implant. A dental implant engaged with both the faceted exterior second end of the linear body member and the threaded end of the captured screw member is partially driven into an osteotomy by way of the implant carrier device, followed by disengagement of the implant carrier device from the partially driven implant by rotation of the screw member captured within the axial bore of the implant carrier.
