Flexible drilling protocols - for targeted primary stability The PROGRESSIVE-LINE implant demonstrates its strengths particularly in soft bone - without additional treatment steps (e.g. the use of osteotomes). The drilling protocol is extremely flexible and can be adapted to the respective clinical situation. Depending on the available bone quality, a decision for the respective protocol can be made intraoperatively. For example, underpreparation of the implant bed can be performed if the bone is predominantly cancellous. Users of PROGRESSIVE-LINE Implants appreciate this freedom of choice. Therefore, these options have also been integrated into the PROGRESSIVE-LINE Guide System and can be realized with implant diameters of 3.8 and 4.3 mm. Drilling protocol Drilling protocol in very soft bone: underpreparation Gingiva punch Pilot drill; optional Pre-drill Form drill; Underpreparation very soft bone Form drill; Underpreparation Surgery tray Exemplary representation of a Ø 3.8 mm / L 13 mm PROGRESSIVE-LINE Implant. Underpreparations are possible with the PROGRESSIVE-LINE Guide System in implant diameters of 3.8 and 4.3 mm. Specially designed drills are additionally required for the Ø 3.8 mm to provide precise guidance in correlation with the guide sleeves. These can be stored in the surgery tray on the bottom right. The form drills for underpreparation feature an additional marking on the shaft (FD/U-P). The Ø 3.8 mm form drills are used for the underpreparation of the Ø 4.3 mm PROGRESSIVE-LINE Implants. The dimensions of the insertion posts as well as the guide sleeves for both implant diameters are identical. Exemplary representation of a Ø 3.8 mm / L 13 mm PROGRESSIVE-LINE Implant.
