The Bone Crester/Ridge Splitting Kit includes instruments that can be used with a specific protocol to allow clinicians to perform safe, effective ridge splitting during pre-implant bone surgery. Useful For Bone Densities Of D1 Or D2 Bone.
Bone expander drills are an alternative to osteotomes for the expansion and condensing of the atrophic mandible and maxilla in preparation for dental implant insertions.
Expanders are also an alternative to the maxillary sinus elevation technique. Expanders are driven into the bone with a ratchet wrench or low speed hand piece. This decreases the surgical trauma of osteotomes. Bone expanders (2.3, 2.7, 3.1, 3.5, 4.3 and 5.1mm) improve the clinical success by improving stability, maintaining bone density and increasing fixation. Each screw had 4 score marking at 10mm, 8mm, 6mm and 4mm.
The video below shows all the components of the kit, as well as a demonstration of all the kit components. Please watch the entire video to see both the Ridge Splitting and Bone Expander components in action.
