Case Study

VPI Pilot drill kit in action

By Dr. Ioannis Vergoullis

Case Overview

Delayed implant placement at position 12 using the VPI Pilot Drill Kit for precise osteotomy centering. The Pilot Drill sleeve eliminates freehand variability during the critical first drill entry.

1.Initial situation

Healed edentulous site at position 12 with adequate ridge dimensions for implant placement without augmentation.

2. Guided osteotomy initiation

Sleeve #7I centers and initiates the pilot osteotomy at the correct position and angulation, setting the trajectory for the entire drilling sequence.

3. Implant placement

With the trajectory established, the remaining drilling was completed using the implant system’s standard kit. The implant was placed into the centered osteotomy.

4. Final position

Implant seated at the planned depth with centered placement within the ridge.
