Copious saline irrigation is required in the use of any drilling instruments. A surgical splint is used to determine dental implant fixture insertion site. In the maxilla, a fixture for 11 or 21, is placed 3 mm from the midline suture line.
After pilot drilling is done, the fixture site is enlarged using a 3.0 mm diameter twist drill. The procedure is important for preparing the implant fixture site to proper depth. The indicator mark on the drill should be level with the bony margin.
Use the twist drill to finalize enlargement fo dental implant fixture site. Photo credit: Oris Neobiotech
