Bone Spreading Osteotomes For Tapered Implants
A narrow ridge often has enough height for an implant but not enough width. Bone spreading osteotomes address this by pushing the cortical plates apart rather than drilling bone away. The tips taper, so each one prepares the site toward the shape of a tapered implant body. This listing offers five tip sizes sold one at a time.
Five Tip Diameters, One Sequence
The catalogue lists tips of 2.3 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.8 mm, 4.4 mm and 5.1 mm. Surgeons generally start with the smallest tip after the pilot osteotomy. Then they move up through the sizes until the site matches the planned implant. Because the steps are small, the surgeon can judge how the bone responds at each size.
Choosing Which Sizes to Order
Your final tip depends on the implant diameter you place most often. For example, a practice that favors narrow implants may only need the 2.3, 2.8 and 3.8 mm tips. In contrast, a team that places wider molar fixtures will want the 4.4 and 5.1 mm sizes as well. Ordering the full run gives the most flexibility in soft or thin bone.
Tapping With Control
Most clinicians advance these osteotomes with light taps from a surgical mallet. Others use hand pressure alone in softer bone. Either way, check the angle against the neighbouring teeth after each size. If resistance rises sharply, pause and let the bone adapt before you continue.
Quality and Coverage
The osteotomes are made from surgical stainless steel and reviewed in the US before they reach you. They ship non-sterile, so each tip should go through cleaning and an autoclave run ahead of surgery. We warrant every size for three years against manufacturing defects in the steel or the finish.
The alloy is specified to ASTM F899 surgical stainless requirements. Compare other patterns in our Osteotomes category. The Mead Mallet is a natural partner for controlled tapping. You will find order help in our FAQs.
