Taps: if implants with an endosteal diameter of 4.8 mm are inserted, the thread
should be pretapped. in the case of implants with a smaller endosteal diameter
(Ø 3.3 mm or Ø 4.1 mm), tapping can be omitted, depending on the situation
(see also page 31, Bone classes).
Important
Please note that the taps for S/SP differ from the TE taps (see below). Depending
on bone class, Tapered Effect implants can be implanted without or
with prior tapping.
the thread can be tapped using a handpiece (max. 15 rpm) or ratchet. there are
therefore two tap variants for each implant diameter and the tap for manual use is
available in a short and a long version.
