A bone level guided drill comprising:
- an engaging shaft,
- a guide shaft,
- wherein the guide shaft comprises:
- a guide shaft interior channel, and
- a guide shaft locking component,
- an active shaft,
- wherein the active shaft comprises:
- an active shaft extension, and
- the diameter of the guide shaft is greater than the diameter of the active shaft;
