Start Lance Drill

Dimensions and Design :
 Starter drills are usually smaller in diameter, which can vary depending on the size of the dental implant to be placed. They are generally designed to make an initial hole in the bone.
 The length can vary, but they are typically designed to reach the depth needed for the implant.
 Shape :
 They have a sharp tip that allows for efficient penetration into the bone. The design can be straight or slightly conical, facilitating guidance during drilling.
 Applications in Dental Implantology
 Initial Drilling :
 It is used to make the initial hole in the bone, which sets the guide for the larger diameter drill bits that will follow. This is essential to ensure that the hole is properly aligned and centered.
 Control and Precision :
 Being a smaller diameter drill bit, it allows the surgeon to have better control over the direction and depth of the drilling, reducing the risk of deviations.
 Trauma Minimization :
 Initial drilling with a starter drill helps minimize trauma to the bone and surrounding soft tissue, which can promote a faster patient recovery.
 Facilitates Osseointegration :
 By creating a hole that is the precursor to implant placement, it helps ensure that the implant has good contact with the bone, promoting osseointegration.
 Versatility :
 These burs can be used on different types of bone, from cancellous bone to cortical bone, making them versatile in various clinical situations.
