Two stainless marker/gauge "nails" are provided
in the implant placement kit: longer for anterior use, shorter
for posterior use. This instrument is used in two applications:
- As
a tissue punch marker through the pilot drill guide to again
check the correct start point for the pilot hole drill and
finally the implant itself.
- As
a bone depth and direction gauge in the pilot drill hole
as determined via a P.A. film. The marker/gauge has deeply
inscribed rings on the shaft at 11, 13, and 15mm that are
easily seen on the film taken after the gauge is inserted
fully into the pilot drill hole. Therefore, the needed M/D
direction and depth of the pilot hole can accurately be
checked before using the osteotomy drills.
