Tecnica Osteotomica Alternate di Malchiodi per l’Inserimento dell’Impianto NT

Bone augmentation procedures routinely are required before dental implant placement. Several techniques for this procedure may be considered, such as guided bone regeneration, bone block grafting, and ridge splitting for bone expansion. The osteotome technique presents many advantages compared with traditionally drilled burs, especially on low-density bone. Osteotomes compact and expand the alveolar ridge in atrophic maxillary bones in which rigid corticalization seems to be better conserved by osteotomic dislocation.
