Dental Implant Depth Gauge

Dental Implant Depth Gauge

The Dental Implant Depth Gauge series (LS9-005, LS9-006, LS9-007) is manufactured from German-grade surgical stainless steel with a passivated satin finish that resists corrosion through repeated sterilization. Each instrument features a smooth, cylindrical LEADER-branded handle with a single curved working probe. LS9-006 carries gold-colored graduated depth bands along the probe shaft, while LS9-007 carries the same markings in black, making each a distinct color-coded implant probe for immediate visual identification during surgery. Band markings are applied at standardized implant length increments for direct intraoperative reading.

LS9-005 extends the series with a dual-function design, one curved probe end for depth measurement combined with a forked implant gauge and key end for cover screw removal, eliminating the need to exchange instruments mid-procedure. All three variants withstand full autoclave sterilization at 134°C and are compatible with ultrasonic cleaning and chemical disinfection. Passivation protects the surface between sterilization cycles, and standard boil, performance, and shape quality-control tests confirm consistent dimensional accuracy before dispatch.

Oral surgeons and implantologists use the Dental Implant Depth Gauge during dental implant placement surgery after osteotomy preparation. The surgeon inserts the curved probe into the prepared socket, advancing it to the apical bone wall. This osteotomy socket depth instrument delivers a direct millimetre reading at the crestal margin from the color-coded bands on the shaft, confirming socket depth against the selected implant length before fixture placement begins, reducing the risk of incorrect implant seating.

Surgical teams performing multiple implant placements in a single session need instruments that communicate depth clearly, without removing the probe to check a scale. Leader Surgical supplies this color-coded series specifically for that demand, combining verified stainless-steel quality, sterilization reliability, and instant visual depth readability into one dependable instrument family.

What is the “Key” used for in this set?
In guided surgery, “keys” are metal sleeves inserted into a surgical guide to match specific drill diameters (e.g., 2.0mm, 2.8mm, 3.2mm). They ensure the drill remains perfectly centered and reaches the precise depth dictated by the surgical plan.
