Implant Drills: What Are Your Experiences?
Dr. R. asks:
I wanted to know what is a good surgical drill/ contra-angle system to use for placing dental implants. Is there one considered to be better then all other or are they all pretty much the same thing? I have tried out several from different implant companies and they all seem to have about the same features. I am just starting out to place my own implants and I want to buy one system. Any recommendations? What should I be looking for? Anything to watch out for? Thanks.

in my experience, the Nobel tapered system seems like the easiest on the market. Many systems have numerous drills and one has a lot to offer to prep an osteotomy perfectly but I also am not one that places 100’s of implants a year.
I would suggest that you call the big three companies (Nobel Biocare, 3I, and Staumann)
Hi!
You may want to take a look almitechimplants
Drills are economical but working like high cost ones.
Their newest one countersink, it’s pretty cool.
Obviously, no one who has responded to this post answered this person’s question…
Well I have been using the Nouvag MD-10 which is simple and easy to use…yeah it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but I don’t need them to place my implants.
A friend of mine is using the ATR-3000 which has some extra settings for torque value and memory settings….however I sat in on a surgery and he honestly states to me that he wasn’t dissatisfied with it but it had way too many settings that he would never use. It is a good motor though.
They are all about the same…it is just do you want the basic package or the upgrades. Honestly for the money and the functionalilty you get I would go for a Nouvag. Again a motor is a motor unless you want to do multiple things with it. However for implants….get something that will hold up and with enough RPMs to do your osteotomy.
In reference to the other posts: Read the question before trying to sell your systems….it would probably help you out in the future.
In reference to implant systems…the Almi Tech looks very very limited in diameters…and if their are patents pending then please explain what they are and how they differentiate your product…to me it looks like another ME-Too implant system…which I have not had great experiences with in the past…also does your implant system solve the Micro-Gap problem? If not, then you need to rethink the implant…this will be a problem we will see more and more of in the future as more studies are conducted which they are already in place to finish in the next couple of years….first wave at least will be finished to prove this is a major problem for the long-term health of our patients….
Even the major implant companies push this under the rug because they are no longer looking out for the health factor as a their #1 priority…they are looking at ESTHETICS…which is also important but it shouldn’t be #1….
