RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Bone transplants are mostly prepared with cutting drills, chisels, and rasps. These techniques are difficult for unexperienced surgeons, and the implant interface is less precise due to unstandardized preparation. Cylindrical bone transplants are a known alternative. Current techniques include fixation methods with osteosynthesis screws or the dental implant. PURPOSE: A new bone cylinder transplant technique is presented using a twin-drill principle resulting in a customized pressfit of the transplant without fixation devices and combining this with the superior grinding properties of a diamond coating. MATERIALS AND METHODS: New cylindrical diamond hollow drills are used for customized press fit bone transplants in a case series of five patients for socket reconstruction in the front and molar region of maxilla and mandibula with and without simultaneous implant placement. RESULTS: The technical approach was successful without intra or postoperative complications during the acute healing phase. CONCLUSION: The customized press fit completes a technological trias of bone cylinder transplant techniques adding to the assisted press fit with either osteosynthesis screws or the dental implant itself.
