The amorphous diamond coated drill design is intended to minimize corrosion and to increase longevity of the tool. ## Device Story Amorphous Diamond Coated Drill is a surgical bone-cutting instrument used by dental professionals to prepare osteotomy sites for endosseous dental implants. The device consists of a surgical-grade stainless steel body with an amorphous diamond coating on the cutting portion. It features three cutting flutes and supports both internal and external irrigation. The device is used in a clinical setting, attached to a standard dental handpiece. The diamond coating is intended to reduce corrosion and extend the tool's operational lifespan compared to traditional titanium nitride-coated drills. The healthcare provider uses the drill to manually create the implant site; the output is the physical preparation of the bone, which facilitates the subsequent placement of the dental implant. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biological and mechanical test data were performed to support the indications for use. ## Technological Characteristics Surgical grade stainless steel construction; amorphous diamond coating; three cutting flutes; internal or external irrigation; latch-end design for dental handpiece compatibility; non-sterile. ## Regulatory Identification A bone cutting instrument and accessories is a metal device intended for use in reconstructive oral surgery to drill or cut into the upper or lower jaw and may be used to prepare bone to insert a wire, pin, or screw. The device includes the manual bone drill and wire driver, powered bone drill, rotary bone cutting handpiece, and AC-powered bone saw. ## Predicate Devices - Steri-Oss System Surgical Drill ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
