Using an .050” hex driver, remove the surgical cover cap from the implant and place the profiler guide that matches the color of the prosthetic platform. Use the profiler with copious amounts of sterile irrigation. Once the excess bone and soft tissue are removed, unscrew the guide and seat the appropriate prosthetic component. Image showing bone growth at 3 months. (Nevins et al, IJPRD, 2013) Purpose: In cases where excess crestal bone has been created, use a bone profiler at implant uncovery to contour the bone. This will provide the necessary clearance for proper abutment seating. • Profiler guide protects implant platform • Color-coded by prosthetic platform (yellow=3.5mm, green=4.5mm) • 850-2,500 rpm drill speed with steady sterile irrigation
