CONELOG PROGRESSIVE-LINE Surgical procedures

23 CONELOG ® PROGRESSIVE-LINE IMPLANT CHECKING THE IMPLANT BED Probing of the implant bed drill hole for fenestration is recommended. Results of probing tests for the absence of soft tissue in the implant bed hole must be documented in the patient file. Checking the implant bed PROCEDURE IN HARD BONE All CONELOG ® PROGRESSIVE-LINE Implants come with a self-tapping thread. However, for bone qualities 1* and 2*, the use of the dense bone drills is required to reduce the torque when inserting the implant. The use of the dense bone drill is considerably easier compared to the tap, as the dense bone drill can be used at higher speeds and without changing the direction of rotation like all form drills. It can be used directly using the angled hand piece. Furthermore, the 4 cutting edges of the dense bone drill allow the collection of bone chips.
