Bone Augmentation in Dental Implantology Using Press-Fit Bone Cylinders and Twin-Principle Diamond Hollow Drills: A Case Series

Abstract

The customized press fit completes a technological trias of bone cylinder transplant techniques adding to the assisted press fit with either osteosynthesis screws or the dental implant itself.

This crestal approach for large sinus lift has already been described using press-fit bone cylinders (27) or osteotomes technique (28) and they allow reducing morbidity of the procedures …”

Cleaning problems associated with diamond trephine drills in bone surgery

“…We used these drills in various experimental settings. [567] We randomly observed the cleaning outcomes of instruments used in those studies and present them in this publication.…”

“…[7] In another study, rabbit bone was similarly harvested from the distal femur. [6] Human bone cylinders were obtained from the pelvic rim in the related study using the forerunner model of Diamond TwInS System.…”

“…[5] Bone cylinders were generated with all drill sizes mentioned in the studies. [567] Continuous water rinsing was applied at a speed of 800 RPM (rounds per minute). Then, drills treatment was performed following the standard cleaning protocol for used surgical instruments.…”

“…[567] The drills were cleaned as mentioned above. Figure 1a shows an example of a pre-cleaned drill, in Figure 1b the same drill after a single cleaning cycle is seen.…”
