Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document outlines the technique for expanding the atrophic alveolar ridge using Mectron bone expanders, developed by Dr. Sentineri. The technique focuses on lateral bone condensation, which is less traumatic than traditional methods involving a hammer and chisel.
Specifications
The Mectron bone expanders have a smooth coronal part with only the initial part being threaded. This design allows the expander to displace the cortical bone rather than penetrate it, facilitating lateral expansion. The technique uses an implantology micromotor for maximum control over insertion direction and torque.
Procedure
The procedure involves several stages:
  • Initial osteoplasty to increase ridge thickness from 2 to 3 mm.
  • Crestal osteotomy with precision inserts to minimize bone loss.
  • Sequential introduction of 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm bone expanders.
  • Filling the surgical gap with a particulate bone graft.
Clinical Cases
Clinical cases demonstrate the transition from D4 to D3 bone quality through lateral bone compacting. X-rays show the expanders in place and the final implant sites after expander removal.
Lateral Bone Condensation
This technique can be an alternative to maxillary sinus elevation. It involves:
  • Using X-ray guidance to position the implant without the need for a sinus lift.
  • Sequential insertion of bone expanders with simultaneous lateral bone condensing.
  • Final placement of implants.
Available Expanders
The document lists available expanders with dimensions ranging from 2.5 x 11.5 mm to 4.5 x 15 mm, along with adapters for micromotors and ratchets.
Conclusion
Dr. Sentineri’s technique offers a less invasive and more controlled method for alveolar ridge expansion, improving primary stability and reducing patient trauma.
