Surgical protocol
Sequence of use of cutters
- By adhering to the drilling protocol, the Helix (Straumann) implants can achieve optimum primary stability.
- The Helix (Straumann) implant concept implies subcrestal immersion of the implant 0.5 mm.
Implant placement protocol Ø 3.5 *
* When installing an implant with a length of 10 mm.
Implant placement protocol Ø 4.0 *
* When installing an implant with a length of 10 mm.
Implant placement protocol Ø 4.5 *

Subcrestal implant placement
The implant immersion depth is easily controlled due to the straight shape of the implant neck, which minimizes bone tissue atrophy.
Attention! The actual length of the Helix (Straumann) implants is 0.5 mm less than the stated length, which ensures the immersion of the implants below the level of the cortical layer.
