Proceed with the 2.75mm Twist Drill to the desired depth for implant placement in soft Type IV Bone. The recommended drill speed is 1200–1500rpm.

• Instruments needed:
  Certain Countersink Drill (ICD100)
  NOTE: Drilling to the bottom of the depth mark on the ICD100 will prepare the osteotomy for crestal placement and not subcrestal placement of implant.
