Over-dimensioned protocol. The over-dimensioned protocol was conducted by a final drill of 1 mm narrower than the implant diameter. The final drill for implants of 3.3. mm was 3.2 mm and of implants measuring 3.75 mm, it was 3.65 mm. Within this study, an over-dimensioned protocol was defined as a final drill larger than recommended by the company, which is in this case 4 or 4.5 mm wider than used in the standard protocol.
