title: [Minimum drilling--maximum primary stability. A case presentation].
abstract: In the implant procedure there are 3 factors: a) The height and width of the bone. b) The implant length and diameter. c) The implant system drills and technique. As factors (a) and (b) are constants, the only variable factor is the drilling technique(c). Since the quality of the bone varies (type D1-4), the clinician would like to have the ability to influence the amount of drilled bone. In addition, the clinician wants absolute accuracy & control in location and direction of the drill--in the minimizing of error and the ability to see it and correct it. These elements can be achieved by a system which includes trephine drills and leading pins. This article suggests a drilling technique developed for the purpose of placing dental implants. Its target is to simplify the process of implants placement while effectively using the available bone.
