Abstract
The case (1) comprises a receptacle (41) with two detachably interconnected receptacle parts (42, 43). The receptacle (41) contains a dental implant (11) and a holder (61). The dental implant (11) has an anchoring section (15) designed to be anchored in a bone, i.e., an outside thread, and an outer section (16) indented to jut out from the bone. The holder (61) engages the outer section (16) of the dental implant (11) and detachably secures it using clamping and/or locking means (67). The dental implant (11) and the holder (61) are connected to each other by anti-rotation means (31, 72) preventing rotations around a common axis (13). Once the case has been opened (41), the holder (61) can be gripped manually or using a tool or instrument and the dental implant (11) held by the holder (61) can be inserted into a bone in the mouth of a patient by screwing, pushing or pressing said implant into the bone.
