CONELOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE Surgical procedures

8 CONELOG ® PROGRESSIVE-LINE IMPLANT FABRICATING THE DRILLING TEMPLATE WITH CT TUBES FOR CT PLANNING If a planning or x-ray template with tubes for CT planning was created, it can be converted into a drilling template after adjusting the tube positions based on the implant planning. If required, the template is reduced to an outline after preparation of the flap to ensure it stays in position during surgery (dental or gingival base outside the surgical area). PILOT DRILLING WITH CT-TUBE FOR CT PLANNING The pilot drill without coil has a 2.0 mm diameter. It can also be used with the CT-tube for drill Ø 2.0 mmwhich has a 2.1 mm inner diameter. There are ring markings the lower edges of which show drilling depths for 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 18 and 20 mm each in the working area of the drill. The thickness of each ring mark is 0.4 mm. The 18 and 20 mm markings are not filled in and are used for orientation when using the 4 mm long CT-tube with 2.1 mm internal diameter. IMPORTANT NOTE Only use CT-tubes for CT-planning with 2.1 mm internal diameter in conjunction with the pilot drill. 11 mm 13 mm 16 mm 18 mm 20 mm Pilot drill, without coil, Ø 2.0 mm Tube for CT planning, inner diameter 2.1 mm 9 mm 7 mm Ø 2.5 mm External diameter 10 mm 4 mm Example: CT-tubes for CT-planning for pilot drill Ø 2.0 mm Drill for placement of CT- tubes Ø 2.1 mm Internal diameter X-RAY/DRILLING TEMPLATE WITH CT-TUBES FOR CT-PLANNING CT-tubes for CT-planning are integrated at the appropriate implant positions in the planning templates created from the wax-up/set-up and are used as reference positions in the X-ray image. The two-piece sleeves are made of a titanium alloy, as this does not cause scattered radiation in the CT/DVT. The lower section is polymerized into the template. The upper section is pluggable. The entire tube is used for the radiological diagnostics; the upper section can be removed for surgery and then serves as drilling guide (see «Pilot drilling with tube for CT planning). Consistent placing of the tubes directly on the mucosa allow determining its thickness in the CT/DVT. The respective documentation included with these systems contains further information.
