Implant Position Planning
DRILLING SPEED
The drilling speed is diameter-dependent. The recommended speed is
300–800 rpm depending on the drill type (handpiece angle reduction
ratio 16:1–20:1).
The recommended maximum drilling speed for thread tapping is 15 rpm
(handpiece angle reduction ratio 70:1–100:1). The tap adapter for the
torque wrench also permits manual tapping.
COOLING
The CAMLOG
®
drilling system for implant bed preparation consists mostly
of internally cooled drills. The cooling liquid is sterile saline solution (pre-
chilled to 5°C/41°F).
Optimum cooling consists of a combined internal/external cooling at the an-
gled handpiece.
DRILL LIFE
Drill longevity depends on bone quality and drilling technique. The pilot
drills, pre-drills, and form drills are good for 10–20 drilling cycles. If exces-
sive force has to be applied because of a dull drill, then change the drill im-
mediately to prevent bone overheating.
The lower edge of the depth mark is the reference for the preparation
depth.
CAUTION
The maximum apical extension length of the drill is 0.6 mm.
* Use of a tap is recommended for SCREW-LINE , ROOT-LINE, and SCREW-CYLINDER-LINE Im-
plants if the bone quality is D1 or D2.
** The SCREW-LINE cortical bone drill reduces the torque for implant insertion into hard bone
(D1).
