12.  Pick up the implant from the surgical tray using the Certain Implant Placement Driver Tip.

NOTE: The Certain MicroMiniplant™ (3.25mm dia.) requires the use of a dedicated MicroMiniplant Driver Tip (IMPDTS or IMPDTL) that is marked with a purple band on the shank. The Internal Hex configuration of the MicroMiniplant is smaller than the standard Certain Internal Hex Connection (4, 5 and 6mm dia. implants). The item numbers can be identified on the side of the driver tip.

 Pick up the implant from the surgical tray using the Handpiece Connector.

 Carry the implant to the mouth facing upward to prevent accidental dislodging.

• Instruments needed:
  Implant Placement Driver Tip (IIPDTS or IIPDTL)
  Handpiece Connector (MDR10)

13.  Place the implant in the prepared site at approximately 15–20rpm. It is not uncommon for the handpiece to stall before the implant is completely seated. The implant position must match what was simulated with the NTDI or there is a risk of a poor fit between the implant and osteotomy. In dense bone, it is recommended to tap the site prior to implant placement.

14.  Final seating of the implant may require the use of the Ratchet Extension and the Ratchet Wrench.

• Instruments needed:
  Ratchet Wrench (WR150)
  Certain Ratchet Extension (IRE100 or IRE200)
  External Hex Ratchet Extension (RE100 or RE200)
