Product Description

Glidewell HT^™ Guided Pilot Drills are stepped to accommodate the tapered design of the implant. Pilot Drills are available in three lengths: 8 mm, 10 mm and 13 mm for Ø3.5 mm – Ø5.0 mm Implants. Drill length is calculated to indicate where the top of the implant will reside when fully seated to that depth.

If placing a Glidewell HT Implant that is 3.0 mm in diameter or greater, Pilot Drills are used to deep­en the osteotomy. Each Pilot Drill is labeled ac­cording to the diameter of implant for which it is intended to be used. For Ø3.0 mm Implants, the pilot drill is only available in 8 mm. Select the appropriate Pilot Drill, accounting for the size of the implant to be placed, taking care not to ex­ceed the length of the implant. If placing an im­plant that is 8 mm in length, the 8 mm Pilot Drill should be used. If placing an implant that is 10 mm or 11.5 mm in length, the 10 mm Pilot Drill should be used. If placing an implant that is 13 mm or 16 mm in length, the 13 mm Pilot Drill should be used. Except for the Ø3.0 mm Implant size, the 8 mm Pilot Drill should be used for implant lengths ranging from 11.5 mm to 16 mm. With copious ir­rigation, drill a pilot hole to depth.
