Product catalog summary
Straumann® VeloDrill™ System Overview
The Straumann® VeloDrill™ System is designed to enhance oral surgery by reducing chair time, minimizing heat generation, and providing high drilling stability. It is suitable for both freehand and guided surgical protocols, offering a cost-effective solution by sharing instrumentation between these methods.
Key Features
  • Low Temperature Drilling: The system minimizes heat generation, which is crucial as excessive heat can adversely affect bone healing. This is achieved through innovative cutting geometry and surface treatment that reduces friction and aids debris extraction.
  • Speed and Efficiency: The VeloDrill™ System allows for a pilot-to-final drill protocol, significantly reducing chair time compared to traditional methods.
  • Flexibility: The system is compatible with both freehand and guided surgery, using shared instrumentation to streamline the setup process.
System Components and Usage
  • Guided Surgery: The system supports a pilot-to-final drill protocol at 800 rpm, reducing the number of steps and time required.
  • Freehand Surgery: It can be used with a single-use drill stop for precise depth control, freeing up one hand during the procedure.
  • Modular Cassette Compatibility: The VeloDrill™ setup can be easily upgraded from freehand to guided surgery using the Straumann® Modular Cassette.
Performance and Testing
  • Studies indicate that the VeloDrill™ System generates less heat compared to traditional sequential drilling methods, as evidenced by lower accumulated energy measurements during testing.
  • Infrared camera measurements show that the system maintains lower temperatures during drilling, reducing the risk of thermal damage to surrounding structures.
Conclusion
The Straumann® VeloDrill™ System offers a high-performance, flexible, and efficient solution for dental implant surgeries, addressing key concerns such as heat generation and procedural efficiency.

Straumann® VeloDrill™ System-3

Instrumentation for implant surgery has not changed much over the past decades, until now. Current literature1– 4 shows that heat generation during drilling remains a major concern during dental implant surgery. Also, guided surgery adoption is hindered due to challenges of time, money and fear.6 Our answer is the new VeloDrill™ System. Designed for use in freehand and guided surgery, the VeloDrill™ System delivers speed, precision, high drilling stability and low drilling temperature. When used for guided surgery, VeloDrill™ allows a pilot to final drill protocol that significantly shortens...

Low temperature drilling. Studies show that thermal damage adversely impacts bone healing.1–4 When used for guided surgery, the low-temperature drilling allows VeloDrill™ to be used for a pilot-to-final drill protocol, without generating more heat compared to the traditional sequential drilling protocol.5 Accumulated energy (microjoule) The VeloDrill™ System is designed to minimize heat generation.5 This is facilitated by the new cutting geometry design and surface treatment that limits friction and facilitates debris extraction. Accumulated energy measured above room temperature (25 °C) accross...
