Quad Shaping Drill
(QSD)
Introduction
The Quad Shaping Drills (QSDs) are
used to prepare the osteotomy for placement of OSSEOTITE®
Tapered Implants.
What Are The Features Of
The New Quad Shaping Drills?
- The
depth references on the QSD Drills are ledges or steps and
the hub has been eliminated. The hubless feature improves
access and flow of external irrigation.
- The QSD
Drills have four flutes to improve cutting efficiency and
reduce drill chatter. • The QSD Drills have end cutting
capability.
- The QSD Drill
design eliminates laser lines, producing a drill that is
more resistant to corrosion in those areas.
- The operating
speed for the QSD Drills is 1200–1500rpm to correspond to
the speed of other drills used during the procedure (such as
the round bur and initial twist drill).
