Start osteotomy with pointed pilot drill (1.5mm) to proper depth using irrigation.

Enlarge osteotomy with second pilot drill (2.0mm) to proper depth using irrigation.

Using your handpiece and HT.09 driver, place implant into osteotomy slightly above desired depth at low RPM.

Using your Tatum Ratchet and either the HT.06 or HT.07 extension, finish placing the implant to the desired depth leaving the neck of the implant slightly above the tissue.
