A pumping motion should be employed to prevent over-heating the bone. Surgical drills and taps should be replaced when they are worn, dull, corroded or in any way compromised. BioHorizons recommends replacing drills after 12 to 20 osteotomies.14 A Drill-usage Tracking Chart is available at biohorizons.com to record this important information. • There is a risk of injury to the mandibular nerve associated with surgical drilling in posterior mandibular regions. To minimize the risk of nerve injury, it is imperative that the clinician understands the drill depth markings as they relate to the implant length to produce the desired vertical placement of the implant. All surgical drills included with this system are externally irrigated and designed to be used with steady sterile irrigation. Reduced drill speed may be indicated in softer bone or as drill diameter increases. Note: The depth marks are consistent throughout the starter drills, depth drills and width increasing drills DRILL OVERVIEW 18.0mm length indicator 15.0mm 12.0mm 9.0mm 7.5mm 10.5mm 0mm
