An assembly for securing a dental implant assembly within a package. The assembly
comprises a collet that includes at least one lever arm, which defines at least
in part, an angular surface and an opening for receiving the dental implant assembly.
The assembly also includes a vial that defines a cavity in which the collet is
positioned and a complementary angular surface that is configured such that, when
the complementary angular surface moves with respect to the collet, the complementary
angular surface pushes on the angular surface so as to reduce the diameter of the opening.
