Quad Shaping Drills

Quad Shaping Drill (QSDs)

– For Certain^® Internal & External Hex Connection Tapered Implants

• Quad Shaping Drills (QSDs) use stepped depth marks for accuracy in creating the osteotomy
• QSDs have end cutting ability
• QSDs are color-coded for platform recognition
• The Quad Shaping Drills (QSDs) are used to prepare the osteotomy for placement of Biomet 3i Tapered Implants
• The Biomet 3i Depth Measurement System includes drill depth marks on the ACT^®Twist Drill that correspond to the placement of the implant via a well-established procedure.
• The Biomet 3i Protocol follows the principles of protecting the implant from premature loading by placing the implant subcrestally
• The Quad Shaping Drills (QSDs) are used to prepare the osteotomy for placement of Biomet 3i Tapered Implants

 The Quad Shaping Drills have been designed with geometrical depth landmarks to assess proper depth rather than laser etched markings. The clinician should become familiar with these depth landmarks to prevent over or under preparation of the osteotomy site.

 Shaping Drill Speed: 

• QSDs should operate between 1200 – 1500rpm.
• QSDs cut efficiently; reducing the downward force will allow the drill to cut without detectable chatter.
