Thanks guys i was unaware that they also carried the wrench. If i could clarify my second question a bit more. I find alot of times with the hiossen kit and nobel as well when i was using it that the surgical drills alone are sometimes short. For example placing a 36 when 37 and 35 still exist i find the head of the drill gets close to the teeth and it can also be difficult to create and assess the initial osteotomy on the right angle Obviously by human nature you add on the extension and it can be extremely tight which can push your drill buccal to accomodate the tight space. Because nobel and hiossen overall drill lengths and extensions are similar is there a smaller extension I feel like sometimes i need 5-6mm more rather then the full amount the extension provides. Ironically a nobel rep told me today the biggest knock to their drill system is they are too short and hiossen are comparatively similar Dr kwon can you make hiossen enginneer a mid range extension lol Thoughts? Ideas?

Hi Stefano, I use short ASC driver for posterior cases. Yes. You do need both length. Surg smart carries both and also carry the wrench as well. Drivers are dedigned to break deliberately at very high torque. As long as angle correction is not severe, you should be good. - mark

Hey stefano. The angled driver comes in short and long. You need both as in certain situations you need short and in others you need long. The torque wrench is sold by surgical smart. Do not over torque using these drivers. The screw tends to strip on the side more often depending on the angle correction. For np Hiossen fixtures I torque abutment screw to 20ncm three times over 5 minute increments. For rp I do it to 30ncm. What's also important is that the crown is in implant protected occlusion in CO and no excursive contacts. With scrc screw will tend to loosen over time due to hyper occlusion. I prefer screw retained as well but sometimes cement retained is a better option depending on the situation. Ho-Young
