Manufactured by Helmut Zepf GmbH and made in Germany, this instrument brings together multiple measurement functions to support predictable, high-quality implant outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features and Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe measuring rods have a thickness of exactly \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, enabling immediate control of the maximum diameter of the implant to be inserted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific examinations confirm that a bone wall thickness of at least \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e is necessary to prevent bone resorption following implantation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo ensure maximum stability, the largest suitable implant diameter should be selected based on the measurement obtained.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003elocating screw\u003c\/strong\u003e at the end of the caliper allows the measured result to be fixed securely, preventing accidental displacement during clinical workflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the Measuring Caliper Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the \u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring Caliper\u003c\/strong\u003e is inserted into the interproximal gap and opened until the measuring rods contact the roots of the adjacent teeth, the inner marking \u003cstrong\u003eIN\u003c\/strong\u003e displays the maximum possible diameter for the future implant. The upper marking \u003cstrong\u003eOUT\u003c\/strong\u003e simultaneously indicates the determined outside dimension. This dual-reading system provides a fast, reliable reference without the need for additional instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor comparison measurements only.
