Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. Surgical Kit & Procedural Guide Explained

In this Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. Monday Morning Minute, Fitz provides a detailed, step-by-step demonstration of how to place an O-ball abutment implant using the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. surgical kit and motor system. He begins by showing the laminated procedural guide, a handy tool for new users, and walks viewers through the process using a mandible model.

Fitz explains how to prepare for implant placement by selecting the correct pilot drill guide from the kit and using a 1.2mm single-patient drill to create the pilot hole. He emphasizes the importance of using a fresh drill for each patient to avoid bone damage and prevent infection. After creating the pilot hole, Fitz proceeds to place the MDL 2.0 x 11mm implant using the contra-angle driver attached to the pre-programmed Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. motor.

He highlights key features of the implant placement process, such as the importance of achieving 30 Newton centimeters of torque to allow for immediate loading if desired. He explains the different torque settings on the motor and demonstrates how to use the surgical guide stent and ratchet wrench for final placement, ensuring a precise and secure implant fit.

The video also covers essential tools in the Shatkin F.I.R.S.T. advanced surgical kit, including autoclavable drills, ratchet wrenches, and manual drivers, showing how each is used during the procedure.
