First Claim
1. Holding device for use with a tool for mechanical tightening of a screw connection in a bone-anchored dental implant without the tissue which surrounds the implant being stressed, said holding device comprising;
- a first part having means for rotationally locking to the implant,an arm rigidly connected to the first part, said arm extending at essentially right angles from said first part, andan additional part having means for engaging a stationary part of a tightening tool so that undesirable rotation movements are prevented during tightening of the screw connection, andwherein said additional part having means for engaging the stationary part of the tightening tool is mounted pivotably on said arm and said additional part is pivoted relative to said arm to allow release of the tightening tool from the holding device after tightening the screw connection.
