The final seating of the implant(s) is achieved by the incremental turns of the Ratchet Wrench.<br />

Should bone density demand, the osteotomy site should be further prepared via the utilization of the<br />

Bone Tap. A Countersink Drill is also available for those clinicians choosing the option of exercising<br />

a countersink technique.<br />

The tip of the Drive-Lock TM (either for contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to<br />

carry the cover screw onto the implant, once inserted into the osteotomy site (Picture 5).<br />

Radiographic Verification<br />

At this point, take the appropriate radiograph(s) to confirm proper depth, seating, orientation and<br />

placement of the implant(s).<br />

Placement of the Healing Screw<br />

After radiographic verification, a healing screw is then placed. The tip of the Drive-Lock TM ‚ (either for<br />

contra-angle or ratchet) is a 1.3 mm hex driver, designed to carry the cover screw onto the implant<br />

and thread it into place.<br />

Site Closure<br />

Irrigate the site for the final time, approximate the flaps and secure with interrupted mattress sutures<br />

or suture method of choice. It is important that maximum tissue adaptation be obtained.<br />

Important Points to Remember<br />

• Only titanium instruments should come in contact with the implant.<br />

• The Conic <strong>Implant</strong>s are designed to fit the drilled depth.<br />

• If a removable prosthesis is used near the implant site, it should be generously relieved and a soft<br />

tissue conditioner reline material placed.<br />

Postoperative Care<br />

Cold packs are recommended for the first 24 hours. Analgesics/Antibiotics may be prescribed at the<br />

discretion of the practitioner. The patient is advised to favor the opposite side of the mouth, maintain<br />

a soft diet and avoid hot liquids. Sutures may be removed after 5-7 days.<br />

Warning<br />

• <strong>Dental</strong> implant surgery is a complex dental procedure.<br />

• Appropriate and adequate training in all phases of implant procedures<br />

and proper technique is strongly recommended prior to implant use.<br />

• Improper patient selection, diagnosis, treatment planning or technique<br />

can result in implant failure and/or loss of supportive bone.<br />

• The use of small diameter implants and angled abutments in the<br />

posterior region of the mouth is not recommended due to possible failure<br />

of the implant.
