The 2-Drill Implant Osteotomy Protocol
Crown Down's 2-drill protocol prepares the implant osteotomy in two steps with solid tungsten carbide drills.
Written and clinically reviewed by Dr. Zvi Fudim, DDS, dental surgeon and founder of Crown Down Inc.Clinically reviewed: June 2026How the 2-Drill Protocol Works
Drill #1 handles cortical preparation. Drill #2 completes the final osteotomy. Fewer steps, simpler workflow, and predictable results for both guided surgery drill kit and freehand implant surgery.
Why Tungsten Carbide Matters
Drill #1: Cortical Preparation
The first drill prepares the cortical layer and establishes the osteotomy path. One step replaces multiple pilot and intermediate drills in conventional kits.
Drill #2: Final Osteotomy
The second drill completes the final osteotomy diameter for implant placement. Two drills per site instead of five to eight.
Built-In Thermal Safety
Solid tungsten carbide conducts heat away from the osteotomy faster than steel. Up to 6x less heat in internal thermal testing under controlled conditions.
Guided and Freehand Surgery
Use Crown Down for guided osteotomy preparation with 3D stoppers, or freehand protocols. One guided surgery drill kit for both workflows.
No Routine Drill Replacement
Eliminates routine drill replacement caused by normal dulling under the Crown Down guarantee. Solid carbide maintains cutting geometry under normal clinical use.
