A manually-operated, adjustable dental implant torque wrench employs a
screw holding sheath for placing a dental screw in a mouth of a patient.
A handle offset to avoid opposite teeth to the work area is provided with
a bevel gear and pinion set to translate the turning motion from a
straight turning shaft in the handle to a perpendicular screw turning
head. An assortment of replaceable snap-fit screw turning heads fits the
various types of dental screws. An easy turn T-shaped handle with a
pivotable turning knob is controlled by a torque limiting device.
