A collector structure (20) for collecting tissue or bone from a dental patient during a dental implant procedure generally includes a housing (30) which includes a cover member (34) and a support member (32). A porous filter medium (24) is mounted on the support member (32). The support member (32) is mountable within the cover member (34) with a gasket member (36) positioned therebetween. A passage (50, 86) is provided through the collector structure (20) to allow the passage of fluid material through the collector structure (20). The support member (32) has a pair of spaced-apart, opposed filter support arms (62) for removably supporting a substantially flat section of filter medium (24) so that the filter medium (24) overlies an inlet passage (50) such that fluid material passing through the collector structure (20) must pass through the filter medium (24) which will filter out any bone or tissue specimens. The filter medium (24) is removable from the support structure (32) so that it can be positioned in a flat-orientation to facilitate the removal of bone or tissue specimens therefrom. Once removed, the filter medium (24) cannot be reattached to the support structure (32). A pair of latch arms (46) releasably secure the cover member (34) and the support member (32) together. The gasket member (36) provides an integral one-way valve which normally blocks the inlet passage (50) and can be moved out of association with the inlet passage (50) to provide a path for the flow of fluid material through the collector structure (20).
