When placing an OSSEOTITE Tapered Implant in dense
(Types I and II) bone, the clinician should consider tapping
the osteotomy prior to implant placement.
The OSSEOTITE Tapered Implant Taps are all 8.5mm in
length and are designed to tap the coronal aspect of the
osteotomy for all implant lengths. For both crestal and
subcrestal OSSEOTITE Tapered Implant placement, the tap is
advanced into the osteotomy until the junction of the colored
mount and the tap body is level with the crest of the
bone.
