Initial access of the osteotomy site is made using the D2.0mm pilot drill.
The pilot drill is used to establish depth and axis/direction of drilling.
Once the depth is established with the pilot drill it is not advisable to change or vary drill depth with subsequent drills but only to progressively widen the osteotomy site. Direction or axis of drilling can be varied slightly if required with subsequent drills. Recommended drill speeds with the pilot drill is between 800-1000 RPM.
In the representation here the pilot drilling is made to a depth of 13mm as the final implant being placed is a D3.3 L13mm implant.
