Conventional osteotomy preparation in modern implant dentistry involves the use of saline irrigation and drilling speeds ranging from 800 to 1,200rpm.
The Osteotomy Drill is a device used for the drilling of holes in bone for the insertion of an implant. It has a sharp, drill bit at the end of a thin, flexible shaft, which is held by a hand-grip at the opposite end. The drill bit is locked into place by a spring-loaded ring. This tool is used in conjunction with a guide, which is a thin, long, straight rod that allows the drill to make a straight hole in the bone.
