Pilot Burs and Drills

Pilot burs, also referred to as pilot drills, are essential dental instruments used in dental implantology and oral surgery. These burs are typically the first tools used during the drilling sequence in implant placement procedures, ensuring accurate initial penetration and the correct alignment of the implant site.

The precise design of pilot burs enables clinicians to create a small, controlled osteotomy that serves as the foundation for further drilling and the successful placement of dental implants. Their function is critical for achieving optimal implant positioning and long-term success.

Pilot burs are integral to implant procedures, contributing to both the accuracy and longevity of dental implant treatments.
