STABILOK Dentine Drill Green Stainless Medium 0.76mm (VMSTAB-FF-80054)
Stabilok Dentine Pins are an effective and economical way to provide
extra mechanical retention for restorations in both anterior and
posterior teeth. Once in place in the tooth, they can be reduced in
length and / or bent into the desired position. A major advantage of
Stabilok Dentine Pins is that the pin is securely held in a contra-angle
shank until it is ready to automatically shear off in the tooth at the
correct depth. Preparation of the tooth: The tooth
that requires placement of a Stabilok Dentine Pin should be cleared of
all caries and dried with an air syringe. In general, a separate
Stabilok Pin will be required for each cusp missing. A pre-operative
radiograph may be useful in identifying the position and size of the
pulp. Procedure for placing the Stabilok Pin: Place
a Stabilok Twist Drill in a contra-angle handpiece and latch it in
place. With the motor running at a speed of about 2000 rpm drill a hole
in the dentine, taking care not to drill accidentally into the enamel or
the pulp. The Stabilok Twist Drill has a self-limiting shoulder which
prevents drilling too deeply. Once the pin hole has been drilled, remove
the twist drill from the handpiece (the twist drill should be
sterilized before it is used again). Place a Stabilok Dentine
Pin in the handpiece and latch it in place. With the Pin rotating at
about 2000 rpm, present the tip of the pin to the opening of the
pre-drilled pin hole. The pin will then self-thread to the bottom of the
pre-drilled hole and shear-off at the neck formed in the threaded
portion. Modifying the Pin: Stabilok Dentine Pins can be modified by either shortening them or by bending them. SHORTENING:
To shorten a pin, proceed as follows: Place a high speed diamond or
carbide fissure bur in a turbine handpiece. Position the handpiece such
that the bur is perpendicular to the Stabilok Dentine Pin and at a point
corresponding to where the pin is to be cut. With the bur running,
gently bring the bur into contact with the pin and allow it to cut
through the pin from one side to the other. A gentle axial movement of
the bur to and fro will facilitate the operation. DO NOT
attempt to shorten the pin before it is placed in the tooth because
doing so would damage or remove the tapered tip which allows self
threading. BENDING: Stabilok Pins can be bent once , after
they have been placed in the tooth. An amalgam plugger can be used by
applying it to the tip of the pin and gently bending the pin into the
position required. The pin should not be bent more than once because
repeated bending will weaken the pin and may also weaken it’s retention
in the pre-drilled hole. Disinfection and Sterilization PINS Stabilok
pins can be disinfected before use by placing them in a cold
sterilization solution for 10 minutes and then rinsing them with sterile
water before use. After use, the shank from which the Stabilok pin has sheared off should be disposed of carefully in a sharps container. DRILLS Before first use: Stabilok drills should be sterilized in a standard autoclave cycle. After use:
Stabilok drills should have any debris, dentine etc., removed either
manually or in an ultrasonic bath, and should then be rinsed and placed
in a standard autoclave cycle.
