The Kit
Same TiN-coated tungsten carbide drills and included accessories. Choose the working length using the planned depth, implant-specific chart and, for guided cases, the complete sleeve and stopper configuration.
CD-KIT-L020
Best for: Longer osteotomies & deep guided cases
What’s in every kit
Coded 3D depth stoppers for guided surgery (8, 10, and 12 mm working depths) are sold separately in the catalog.

Crown Down describes the drills as “unlimited use” because there is no scheduled replacement count. Continued use still depends on instrument condition, correct reprocessing and inspection before every case. The wear-performance guarantee does not replace those checks.
Cleaning, disinfection, inspection, packaging and sterilization are required before reuse. Remove damaged or poorly cutting instruments from service.

The manual library covers multiple implant systems. Confirm the exact implant model, diameter and length against the applicable chart. A brand name or shared handpiece connection alone does not establish fit; guided components need a separate sleeve and depth check.

Live Clinical Case
Two implant sites at lower right #45 and #47, prepared live with two tungsten carbide drills. No ascending sequence, no drill swaps between diameters.
Case by Dr. Ernesto Antonio Pichardo Tejada, DDS · 18+ months of daily Crown Down use
Matched-diameter drill clears the dense crestal cortex in seconds.
Trabecular drill completes the site, no ascending sequence.
The hardest bone type most clinicians will ever prepare.
Two adjacent osteotomies prepared with the same 2-drill sequence.
The 2-drill workflow
The 2-drill protocol is built to keep the chair-side workflow simple, from the first cut to the implant.
Cortical first, then trabecular. No long ascending sequence to work through.
A single swap per site means a simpler tray and a more streamlined osteotomy.
Standard latch contra-angle interface. No proprietary driver to buy or learn.
No scheduled replacement count, so no resharpening or reorder cycle. Inspection and reprocessing still apply.

What Makes Crown Down Different
Explore Crown Down from the perspective that matters most to your practice.
Fewer Steps
The 2-drill protocol handles cortical and trabecular preparation with a single instrument change - fewer swaps, a simpler tray, and a more streamlined osteotomy. Less to set up, less to swap, less to track.
See the protocolChair-Side Convenience
Standard latch contra-angle interface with no adapter or proprietary driver, and nothing to resharpen or reorder on a schedule. For guided cases, confirm sleeve, stopper, working length and planned depth first.
Check compatibilityThermal Control
Material, drill condition, speed, pressure and cooling all affect heat. Follow the applicable technique; material properties alone do not establish thermal safety.
View thermal testingPractice Differentiation
Advanced tungsten-carbide instrumentation signals a modern, evidence-based practice, and gives you predictable control every osteotomy.

Head to head
How the Crown Down kit compares to standard stainless steel kits on sequence, materials, reuse and system fit. Requirements differ between manufacturers; consult the applicable instructions.
| Specification | Crown Down | Steel Kits |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Solid tungsten carbide, TiN coated | Grade and coating vary by system |
| Sequence | Two selected instruments per site | Progressive diameters; steps vary by system |
| Reuse | Condition-based; inspect and reprocess before each use | Follow the manufacturer's reuse limit and inspection criteria |
| Replacement budget | No scheduled replacement count; see cost assumptions below | Depends on case volume, price and replacement frequency |
| System fit | Confirm the implant-specific sizing chart and components | Confirm the implant-system instructions |
For the full material breakdown, see carbide vs. stainless steel implant drills. For the same kit framed around the operatory workflow, see the surgical implant kit page, or the guided implant drill kit configuration for template-based cases. For the standalone cortical drill and the broader dental implant drills reference, use the linked pages.
Crown Down is built for dentists who want a smarter way to prepare implant osteotomies, not a slightly-different version of the same drill kit.
Clinicians placing freehand implants who want better tactile feedback and a faster, simpler osteotomy.

The economics
The sticker price is not the price. The honest comparison is total spend across a five-year ownership window once ongoing drill replacement is counted.
$6,200
Illustrative five-year cost: $1,200 initial purchase plus five years of $1,000 replacement spending.
$3,495
Kit purchase in this example. Replacement spending is assumed to be $0; this is a cost-model input, not a guarantee of instrument condition.
At 50 implants per year, five drill-uses per implant and 20 uses per replacement, the model budgets 12.5 replacement drills each year on average. At $80 each, that is $1,000 annually. After five years the modeled difference is $2,705, with break-even during year three.
These are the calculator's example inputs, not a recommended reuse interval or a market-wide average. The comparison excludes shipping, tax, reprocessing, guided accessories, labor and unexpected loss or damage. Enter your actual costs and replacement policy below.

Another Approach
You already have a drilling system that works. The question isn’t whether Crown Down replaces it. It’s whether it gives you another useful option worth considering alongside it.

The 2-drill tungsten carbide protocol is backed by internal material testing, thermal measurement, and ongoing clinical use across implant systems.
1,000 osteotomy cycles each in bovine rib, pig rib, and bovine tibia at 22°C. No visible wear damage observed across all three internal tests.
Independent studies on implant drill material, heat, and repeated-use degradation: Koo 2015, Mendes 2014, Harris & Kohles 2001, Yalcin 2025.
Documented 5-year follow-up of a Neodent GM implant placed with the Crown Down protocol in a complex medically-compromised patient.
Disclosure: Internal testing was performed on benchtop bone substrates under controlled drilling conditions and is intended for comparative reference. Clinical outcomes depend on operator technique, drilling parameters, and case-specific anatomy. Clinicians should follow their training and clinical judgment when selecting drilling protocols.
7 clinician reviews and counting
“Two years in and I haven't replaced a single drill.”
“I switched to Crown Down two years ago and haven't replaced a single drill. My implant site prep is noticeably faster and I have much better tactile feedback through the bone.”
Luxembourg
“My assistants noticed the difference on day one.”
“The 2-drill protocol cut my osteotomy time significantly. My assistants noticed the difference on day one: fewer instruments to manage, faster turnover between patients.”
Israel
“18 months of daily use and the drills still cut like new.”
“I was skeptical at first, but after 18 months of daily use the drills still cut like new. The heat reduction is real, and my patients report less post-op discomfort.”
Dominican Republic
“That line item is simply gone now.”
“What sold me was the economics. I used to budget for replacing dull drills every quarter, and that line item is simply gone now. The carbide holds its edge case after case, and the consistency that gives me during osteotomy prep is worth as much as the savings.”
Montreal, Canada
“My team adapted to the protocol within a week.”
“Going from a full sequential tray down to two drills changed how my surgical days run. There is less to set up, less to track, and my guided cases flow faster without sacrificing accuracy. My team adapted to the protocol within a week.”
Pierrefonds, Canada
“The thermal difference is something I can feel through the handpiece.”
“The thermal difference is something I can feel through the handpiece, and I see it in how cleanly the sites heal. Preserving bone vitality matters to me, and being able to collect autogenous chips on the same pass has made grafting in my practice far more straightforward.”
Dr. Gadi Kalihman
Kiryat Gat, Israel
“Placing implants has become much faster for me.”
“Since I started using the Crown Down kit, placing implants has become much faster for me. Two drills instead of a long sequence means fewer instrument changes, and I move through each osteotomy with less interruption.”
