Dental trephines designed to cut and remove cylindrical sections of gingival and alveolar bone tissue in an intended implantation site, resulting in an implantation cavity. These instruments are typically detachable, hollow cylinders with a very thin circular-saw-like edge and a powered (e.g., electric) rotary surgical handpiece; dental trephines usually provide internal irrigation. Artificial tooth root implantation trephines are used to facilitate tooth implantation procedures.
