Minimal-invasive spreading of the alveolar ridge with specially developed instruments Maximal spreading under maximal bone protection to provide the bed for implantation in axial direction (prosthetic driven implantology).

An axial translocation of the mobilized cortical plate to lateral:

The mobilization can be achieved through two intern vertical osteotomies in a fan-shaped way, which means it follows the direction of the roots of the neighbouring teeth. The rotation of the mucogingival and mucoperiostal connected cortical lamella can be carried out through various calibrated instruments of different sizes and angles (80, 90,100). This technical procedure is especially indicated in spreading the alveolar ridge in the posterior mandible. These tools are fitted perfectly to the split control system. A fundamental advantage of this procedure is being able to avoid raising a full thickness flap in order to keep the periost in place (Grünholz-fracture). The healing is better guaranteed and faster achieved because the mucosa and the periost stay better protected. This procedure is less traumatic.
