Pterygoid Implant Driver Jull-Dent 248 A pterygoid implant driver is an extra-long specialized dental surgical tool. It is used to place dental implants into the dense pterygomaxillary bone region. These drivers typically range from 40mm to 60mm in length to reach the posterior jaw areas past deep tissue. They attach to a torque ratchet or surgical motor. Key Features Extra-Long Reach: Designed longer than standard drivers to navigate deep mouth openings and posterior tuberosity sites. Secure Connection: Features self-holding or locking hex/star designs to prevent dropping the long fixture during deep insertion. Torque Control: Built to withstand high insertion torque values (often 35–45 Ncm) required for dense cortical bone engagement.
