Where do I find the drilling protocol?

After planning single or multiple implants, select the bone density (BD) where the implant will be placed. Bone density can be selected in the Implant Surgery Module at the bottom right window.

In this specific case, D2 or D3 would be selected for a 4.0mm x 10mm AnyRidge implant.

 

 

Then select [Export Report] at the top to download a specific drilling protocol based on the bone density of the patient and core/thread size of the AnyRidge implant(s).

 

Drilling Protocol Form

The drilling sequence can be seen in the PDF for each implant. By utilizing a color-coded analysis of bone morphology, concealed bony structures can be discerned. This approach facilitates the anticipation of the ideal drilling sequence necessary to attain robust initial stability. Recommended drilling speed is 500~800 RPM.

 

Critical Steps to a Successful Surgery!

To progressively enhance the depth and diameter of the osteotomy, it is recommended to employ a graduated drilling sequence from length to width.

For instance, when inserting an 11.5mm fixture, the following steps are advised:

  1. Initiate with a narrow drill
  2. Followed by the initial drill
  3. Second drill
  4. 2.0mm x 7mm drill
  5. 2.0mm x 8.5mm drill
  6. 2.0mm x 10mm drill
  7. 2.0mm x 11.5mm drill
  8. Transition to a 2.5mm x 11.5mm drill
  9. Subsequently a 2.8mm x 11.5mm drill
  10. Proceed to the final drill
  11. Conclude with a cortical bone drill.

 

For Maximum Accuracy

DO NOT start drilling until the drill is completely engaged into the guide hole. Not following the correct protocol can cause damage to the surgical guide and have resin residue fall into the osteotomy. Always start drilling at low RPM of 300~500 RPM.

 

 

Increase osteotomy depth in 1mm increments by using slow pumping motions until the drill stopper reaches the stopper in the drill guide.

 

Implant Carrier

 

Using the implant carrier in the R2 Surgical kit, align the upper line of the implant carrier to the R2 Guide window to control the fixture depth.

 

 

Then, align the green or gray (in new kits) part of the implant carrier to the R2 Guide window turning the hex in the buccal position.
