SDS drills are designed to prepare the implant bed according to bone density. They are color-coded according to the different bone classes and are made of ATZ ceramics. ¹
Surgical Tray from SDS. All drills are color-coded according to the bone classes IV (green) – I (red).
SDS drills prepare the implant bed with respect to bone quality from the apical to the marginal part, maintain boneintegrity, and create sufficient room for vascularization and osseointegration. ²⁻³
This results in:
• Prevention of compression of hard bone ⁴⁻⁵
• Densifying of soft bone ⁸⁻¹⁰
• Prevention of compression of hard bone ⁴⁻⁵
• Densifying of soft bone ⁸⁻¹⁰
The drilling protocol optimizes the implant bed, which results in greater bone-to-implant contact in softer bones and more space for vascularization and cell circulation in harder bones. See the fact sheet "Healing Chambers" for further information about implant osseointegration.
