Twist Drill PRO: Next generation in drill technology?

Twist Drill
Any thoughts on Straumann’s new Twist Drill Pro, which the company has labeled as the next generation in drill technology?

According to Straumann :

“Twist Drill PRO Ø 4.2 mm is designed to help prevent over-preparation of the osteotomy site. The rounded flat-end tip facilitates safe drill positioning and ensures secure drill centering in the implant bed. The defined direction is maintained throughout the drilling process. “

Anybody have any experience with this drill? Has it helped your surgical site preparation?

    I think this is a very useful and necessary drill. Once the depth has been determined, you can confidently widen your osteotomy and not worry about drilling beyond your desired depth. I know of one other company who has had this safe cutting drill in their surgical kit for over 10 yrs.

    yes , it is very nice to have flat end to the drill, so that we need not increase any more the dept, just increase the width, but iam using such kind of burs since 5 yrs now,this technology is there in biohorizon system.iama teacher , this technique is quite comfortble for a student who is learning surgical step of osteotomy.

Got something to say?
