Container for a dental implant having an implant extension , the container comprising: - a lid formed, along a longitudinal axis, with a first end portion open toward the outside in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and with a second end portion closed toward the outside; the lid enclosing an inner space open toward the first end portion , in which inner space a retainer is arranged along the longitudinal axis which has a passage open toward the outside along the longitudinal axis, the passage being formed such that it partially accommodates the implant extension and retains it during transport; and - a bottom vessel formed tubular along the longitudinal axis with an exterior third end portion and an opposite fourth end portion , the third end portion being tightly sealed toward the outside, - the fourth end portion of the bottom vessel and the first end portion of the lid being formed so as to be mutually connectable and manually releasable in order to form a substantially gas- and liquid-tight space therebetween; - at least three spring arms inside the lid being formed and arranged toward the longitudinal axis such that they are each connected to the lid at an exterior first end along an annular region about the longitudinal axis and equally spaced and resilient at a respective opposite second end radially toward the longitudinal axis; - the second ends each having a stud toward the longitudinal axis adapted to engage a groove formed annular at the implant extension when the implant extension is in its end position; - the spring arms being formed geometrical and flexible such that the studs are forced away from the longitudinal axis during insertion of the implant extension and press into the groove with a tension force perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in the end position; characterized in that the retainer is embodied as a bushing separate from the lid which has a plug-on connection toward the lid mutually slidable into the lid along the longitudinal axis, forming a rotationally secure connection. - a lid formed, along a longitudinal axis, with a first end portion open toward the outside in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and with a second end portion closed toward the outside; the lid enclosing an inner space open toward the first end portion , in which inner space a retainer is arranged along the longitudinal axis which has a passage open toward the outside along the longitudinal axis, the passage being formed such that it partially accommodates the implant extension and retains it during transport; and - a bottom vessel formed tubular along the longitudinal axis with an exterior third end portion and an opposite fourth end portion , the third end portion being tightly sealed toward the outside, - the fourth end portion of the bottom vessel and the first end portion of the lid being formed so as to be mutually connectable and manually releasable in order to form a substantially gas- and liquid-tight space therebetween; - at least three spring arms inside the lid being formed and arranged toward the longitudinal axis such that they are each connected to the lid at an exterior first end along an annular region about the longitudinal axis and equally spaced and resilient at a respective opposite second end radially toward the longitudinal axis; - the second ends each having a stud toward the longitudinal axis adapted to engage a groove formed annular at the implant extension when the implant extension is in its end position; - the spring arms being formed geometrical and flexible such that the studs are forced away from the longitudinal axis during insertion of the implant extension and press into the groove with a tension force perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in the end position; <EOS>
