Step 4 – Insert the implant with the handpiece
Move the implant into final position with a maximum of
15 rpm, turning it clockwise.
Note
When the floor of the bone cavity is reached, there is a
palpable increase in resistance.
Step 4 – Insert the implant with the ratchet
Attach the ratchet and the pivot of the holding key which
is used for stabilizing. The clockwise arrow on the rotary
knob signals the direction of insertion (see insert). Bring
the implant into its final position at bone level with slow
movements of the ratchet.
The top 4 mm cylindrical part of the transfer part for Straumann
® Bone Level implants can be used as a depth indicator
(e.g. relative to the prospective gingival margin). It
facilitates coronoapical implant positioning in the anterior
area.
Caution
An insertion torque of 35 Ncm is recommended. If 35 Ncm is achieved before the implant has assumed its final
position, to avoid bone overcompression, check that the implant bed preparation is correct.
The transfer piece is provided with a pre-determined breaking point to prevent damage to the inner configuration of the
implant, thus ensuring the integrity of the interface for mounting the prosthesis.
After breakage of the transfer piece, the remaining part of the transfer piece in the implant must be removed and the
implant, if not fitted correctly, has to be unscrewed with a 48h Explantation device. After that the implant bed is to
be re-prepared and a new implant has to be inserted. For further details, please consult the brochure “Guidance for
implant removal” 152.806.
