## Abstract

The present invention relates to an implant-driver tool and method of using same for proper insertion of implants into a predrilled drillhole in a bone.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An implant-driver tool for driving an implant into a bone, the tool comprising:
a) a distal driver section mateable with said implant; and
b) a light source and light exit points at said distal driver section, wherein said light exit points are positioned essentially immediately near a mating point between said distal driver section and said implant's head;
c) a light conduit and a reflector within the tool, wherein said reflector is designed to alter the angle a light beam emitted from said light source before exiting the tool through said light exit points,
wherein said light source is designed to emit light through said light conduit and reflector and via said light exit points in a forward direction of said distal driver section,
wherein said light is emitted in the forward direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The implant-driver tool of claim 1, wherein said light exit points comprise a transparent seal that allows light to pass therethrough while preventing moisture, water and other contaminants from reaching inner components of said implant-driver tool.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The implant-driver tool of claim 1, wherein said light source is designed to emit light in about 360° around implant's head during its insertion into an implant-socket.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The implant-driver tool of claim 1, further comprising an integral power source.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The implant-driver tool of claim 1, further comprising a switch to turn the light on and off.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The implant-driver tool of claim 4, wherein said integral power source is rechargeable.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The implant-driver tool of claim 1, wherein said bone is a jawbone and said implant is a dental implant designed to be inserted into a drilled implant-socket in said jawbone.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The implant-driver tool of claim 1, wherein the implant-driver tool is disposable.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The implant-driver tool of claim 1, wherein:
(i) said bone is a jawbone and said implant is a dental implant designed to be inserted into a drilled implant-socket in said jawbone; and
(ii) said light source is designed to emit light in about 360° around implant's head during its insertion into an implant-socket.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The implant-driver tool of claim 9, further comprising a rechargeable integral power source.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

An implant kit comprising:
(i) an implant-driver tool according to claim 1; and
(ii) at least one other implant-related tool.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11, wherein the kit is a dental kit, and wherein said at least one other implant-related tool is one or more drills, a punch tool, one or more implants, a ratchet/handle for holding said implant-driver tool, a power source, charger, computer guided implantology, or any combination thereof.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The kit of claim 12, further comprising an instruction manual.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11, wherein said implant-driver tool comprises an integral power source, and said kit further comprises a cable or charger for charging said integral power source.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11, wherein said kit includes one or more dental implants.
