A Kit of Instruments for Alternative Osteotomy Technique in Atrophies of the Posterior Jaws

Why an Alternative Osteotomy Technique?

In case of atrophies of the posterior jaws, when bone is resorbed according to the parameters described as indication for the Summer's Technique, the Author – Prof. Luciano Malchiodi – proposes his own methodology that presents common denominators with all other osteotomic procedures, and differences that make it particular.

The indication for Prof. Malchiodi's Technique is linked to atrophies of type SA2 and SA3 of the maxillary sinuses. In these two forms of atrophy severity, the methodology for the osteotomic technique is similar.

KEY FACTORS

• The alternating use of concave osteotomes and convex osteocompactors allows for compaction initially in the vertical dimension (concave osteotome) and subsequently in the horizontal dimension (convex osteotome). The resulting forces thus combined present vectors completely different when compared to those obtainable with the traditional Summer's technique.
• The alternation of these two instruments, equipped with pre-ordered cortical stops, forces the operator to increase the depth of the preparation with extreme graduality, consequently reducing to a minimum the risk of perforation.
