The pilot drill is indexed with markings to correspond to the various implant lengths. Pilot Drill Step # 2 Use the pilot drill to the appropriate depth at a speed of 700-1000 rpm with copious sterile saline irrigation. 7
Step #3 Paralleling Pin Step # 4 A paralleling pin is used to determine the appropriate alignment with adjacent teeth, opposing occlusion or other implants. To prevent swallowing a suture can be passed through the pin. When the final depth is reached with the pilot drill, the site is expanded with the appropriate sized implant bur at a drill speed of 1000 rpm with constant irrigation. Implant Burs Sharp burs are critical to avoid overheating of bone and bur chatter, therefore it is recommended to change burs after approximately 10 uses, depending on bone quality. Trial Fit Gauge Step # 5 Endopore Product Packaging Generously irrigate the osteotomy with sterile saline to remove any bone chips or residue before checking the site with the appropriate trial fit gauge. The shoulder of the cone-shaped portion of the gauge should be flush or just below the crestal bone. 8
Step # 6 The implant is aseptically removed from the sterile package and delivered directly to the site using the attached delivery tool. The implant is pressed into the prepared site with manual pressure and the delivery tool is disconnected from the implant using a gentle rocking motion. Step # 7 The implant is driven to its final position with several firm taps with the punch and mallet, resulting in a snug fit of the implant into crestal bone. The smooth coronal portion must be fully submerged in bone. Step # 8 With finger pressure only, use the 0.05 hex driver to ensure that the cover screw is tightly threaded onto the implant. Step # 9 Flap margins are repositioned and soft tissue is sutured tension-free. Step # 6 Endopore Surgical Technique Internal Connection The Endopore IC is aseptically removed from the sterile package and delivered directly to the site using the attached delivery tool. The implant is pressed into the prepared site with manual pressure and the delivery tool is disconnected from the implant using a gentle rocking motion. 9
0.5mm smooth coronal region Step # 7 The implant is driven to its final position with several firm taps with the punch and mallet, resulting in a snug fit of the implant into crestal bone. The 0.5 mm smooth coronal region should be flush with the crest of the ridge. Step # 8 With finger pressure only, use the 0.05 hex driver to ensure that the cover screw is tightly threaded onto the implant. Step # 9 Flap margins are repositioned around the transgingival collar and the soft tissue is sutured tension-free. Post Operative Follow Up Implant Loading The minimum initial healing period after implant placement is 10-14 14 weeks in the anterior mandible and 16-20 weeks in the maxilla and posterior mandible. This time period is dependent on bone quality. Following the initial healing period the cover screw is removed and the clinician can proceed with the final prosthetic protocol.
