Packaging - A.B. Dental Devices' implants are packed in sterile transparent tubes where they remain until required. The implants are protected by a specially designed stainless steel “implant carrier" which both protects them physically, and is also a tool that guides the dental surgeon to insert them in the patient's mouth at the desired orientation. This is done without any direct contact with the implant surface. The carrier is separated by a slight pull in two-piece implants, and in I6 and I7 the carrier is separated by releasing the fastening screw.

Replacing lost teeth with permanent implants requires the following steps:
1. Doing X-rays and/or a CT in order to characterize whether the bone is soft or hard and how condensed the bone is.
2. Preparing a simulation (frequently on computer) of, and planning, the restoration.
3. Depending on characterization of the bone and the simulation, choosing a site for, and the type and dimensions of the implant(s) to be used.
