Dental Implement

A dental implement defining a longitudinal axis and comprising:

• a proximal end portion;
• a distal end portion including a cutting head defining at least one cutting surface;
• and
• a guide body positioned proximally of the cutting head, wherein the guide body is devoid of any cutting surfaces and includes:
• a stop defining a maximum transverse cross-section of the dental implement extending in generally orthogonal relation to the longitudinal axis;
• and
• at least one flute extending in generally parallel relation to the longitudinal axis and configured to direct irrigation fluid to a surgical site within a patient, wherein the at least one flute extends between a proximal end of the guide body and a distal end of the guide body, wherein the at least one flute includes a first end adjacent to a proximal end of the guide body and a second end adjacent to a distal end of the guide body.

A dental implement defining a longitudinal axis and comprising:

• a proximal end portion configured for connection to a drive apparatus;
• a cutting head defining at least one cutting surface and a first transverse cross-sectional dimension;
• and
• a guide body positioned proximally of the cutting head, wherein the guide body is devoid of any cutting surfaces, the guide body including:
• an outer wall defining a second transverse cross-sectional dimension greater than the first transverse cross-sectional dimension;
• and
• a plurality of flutes extending through the outer wall and configured to direct irrigation fluid to a surgical site, wherein the plurality of flutes are spaced circumferentially from each other such that the guide body defines an interrupted outer wall.
