Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, v. 18, n. 2, p. 119-125, 2009.1056-6163http://hdl.handle.net/11449/15046The uses of a new bone spreading technique with simultaneous implant placement are discussed. The spreading system is an alternative technique to Summers' osteotome. Specific screw designs (spreader) served to laterally compress the bone to increase the cancellous density adjacent to the site. The spreader achieved a controlled and standardized dilation of horizontal bone. The advantages, material selection, and the application of this new procedure are detailed.
