CAMLOG ROOT-LINE 2 Surgical Procedure

31 CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 IMPLANT FORM DRILLING After pre-drilling is complete, form drills are used in increasing diameters for final preparation of the implant bed. The small graduations in diam- eter ensure a gentle preparation of the bone. Example: Form drilling Ø 4.3 mm Checking the implant bed CHECKING THE IMPLANT BED Results of probing tests for the absence of soft tissue in the implant hole must be documented in the patient file. If the probe detects soft tissue, this indicates fenestration into the adjacent tissue by the drill. TAPPING All CAMLOG ® ROOT-LINE 2 implants come with a self-tapping thread with abrasive-blasted, acid-etched surface (Promote ® ). Use of a tap is recom- mended for bone quality categories 1 and 2 (Lekholm & Zarb, 1985). The maximum speed must not exceed 15 rpm when performing power-­ assisted tapping. We recommend manual tapping. Tap ROOT-LINE 2, with hexagon, max. 15 rpm Ø 3.3 mm Ø 3.8 mm Ø 4.3 mm Ø 5.0 mm Ø 6.0 mm
