Abstract:
A dental instrument having a blade and an elongated guide connected to the blade. The guide is sized to fit within the bore of a dental implant and is placed at a predetermined radial location with respect to the blade. The guide may selectively translate in a direction parallel to the cutting plane of the blade. The instrument includes a geometric step or a conical surface integrated into the guide so as to prevent the guide from being inserted further than a predetermined distance into the implant.
