Drilling procedure for Standard and Standard Plus implants<br />

Preparati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> alveolar ridge<br />

after opening <strong>the</strong> gingiva, a narrowly tapering ridge can be carefully reduced and<br />

smoo<strong>the</strong>d with a large round burr in order to obtain a flat b<strong>on</strong>e surface and provide<br />

a sufficiently wide area of b<strong>on</strong>e. When choosing <strong>the</strong> implant length (sLactive/sLa ®<br />

surface), <strong>the</strong> vertical reducti<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> b<strong>on</strong>e has to be c<strong>on</strong>sidered.<br />

Rule of thumb: <strong>the</strong> orofacial b<strong>on</strong>e wall around <strong>the</strong> implant must be at least<br />

1 mm thick.<br />

after <strong>the</strong> alveolar ridge has been prepared appropriately, preparati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> implant<br />

bed can commence.<br />

Depending <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> situati<strong>on</strong>, b<strong>on</strong>e scal-<br />

loping in <strong>the</strong> regi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> subsequent<br />

implant bed (with <strong>the</strong> aid of a large<br />

round burr) is recommended prior to<br />

preparati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> implant bed. <strong>the</strong> implantati<strong>on</strong><br />

site is <strong>the</strong>n marked with <strong>the</strong><br />

smallest round burr. it is <strong>the</strong>n widened<br />

with <strong>the</strong> remaining round burs in ascending<br />

order with c<strong>on</strong>stant cooling. this<br />

procedure makes it possible to correct<br />

<strong>the</strong> positi<strong>on</strong> slightly, if necessary.<br />

to insert an implant with an endosteal<br />

Ø 3.3 mm, <strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong> round burr<br />

Ø 3.1 mm is not necessary and is not<br />

recommended.<br />

Ø 1.4 mm<br />

max. 800 rpm<br />

Ø 2.3 mm<br />

max. 800 rpm<br />

Ø 3.1 mm<br />
