| Summary: | Background: To prevent excessive compression of the cortical layer, which can lead to marginal bone loss, various companies have introduced specialized drills. However, these drills often lack the necessary precision, as the operator’s hand may neither be stable enough to prevent ovalization and over-widening nor precise enough to maintain coaxial alignment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a device capable of achieving calibrated cortical preparation in terms of both dimension and coaxiality. Methods: A machining technology based on drilling principles was employed to create the device. Results: Nine blades were incorporated between the transmucosal neck and the implant threads, enabling the blades to cut the cortical bone coaxially during the implant insertion process. Conclusions: The primary goal of this study was to develop an implant capable of achieving calibrated cortical bone preparation, ensuring both precise dimensional control and coaxial alignment. This design incorporates integrated blades that allow for controlled cortical decompression, helping to manage radial compressive stresses during implant placement. Although the experimental studies cited were conducted independently of this research, they validate the functional efficacy of this implant design, demonstrating its ability to promote osseointegration and preserve marginal bone. The results suggest that this implant configuration holds the potential for improving clinical outcomes, particularly in cases where bone quality or density poses challenges to implant stability. |
