FAQ
What is a flag holder used for in implant surgery?
A flag holder is used to visually verify the parallelism of implant drill holes, ensuring that multiple implants are aligned correctly before final placement.
Why is the 7 mm width specified for molars?
Molar implant sites require instruments dimensioned to match the broader anatomy of the posterior jaw, and the 7 mm width is designed to suit these larger osteotomy positions.
