The Mini Driver-Lock Surgical Kit organizes all instrumentation necessary for the procedure and features a convenient stainless-steel tray that is easily removed and placed in the sterile operator field.

Light, repeated, intermediate, vertical introduction of the MDL™ 1.2mm Pilot Twist Drill breaches the gingival tissue and periosteum(Fig. 1). Copious sterile saline irrigation is recommended (Fig. 2). Drilling depth is approximately one third the length of the implant with care taken to breach the cortical plate (Fig. 3). MDL™ are packaged suspended on titanium rings specially engineered to facilitate a no-touch delivery and placement utilizing Driver-Lock technology (Fig. 4). The MDL™ Contra-Angle Driver(MDLCAD) is engineered to slip over the O-ball assembly, firmly engaging the implant for direct delivery and initial seating. Use a slow speed high-torque handpiece(15 RPM or less) and the MDL™ Contra-Angle Driver to beginto insert the MDL™ Implant (Fig. 5). MDL™ sharp apical guiding point initiates self- tapping action: threading and expanding the bone at the same time (Fig. 6). The use of an electric motor with a torque-limiting feature set to 35Ncm is recommended. When the torque limiter stalls the handpiece an MDL™ Retchet Driver (MDLRD) with a Surgical Ratchet rench (SRA) is used (Fig. 7). Small incremental turns：with a pause between each turn takes advantage of bone’s viscoelastic nature (Fig. 8). MDL™ Implant seating is accomplished when the Ratchet Driver is flush with the surrounding gingival tissue (Fig. 9) .
