Dental Bone Expander
Ridge expansion kit with TiN-coated tapered screws, saw disks, and drivers for controlled lateral bone widening during implant site preparation.
Key Features:
• Includes pilot drill, 7mm and 10mm saw disks, and expander screws
• Tapered expander screws: 1.8/2.5, 2.5/3.5, 2.8/4.0, and 4.5mm
• Self-threading screw design for gradual lateral bone expansion
• TiN-coated instruments for reduced friction and wear resistance
• Latch adapter and extender for handpiece compatibility and reach
• Manual knop handle and 4.0mm wrench for controlled torque
• Autoclavable at 134°C with perforated cassette for sterilization
• Transparent cassette for organized storage and instrument visibility
Bone Expander Kit
The Dental Bone Expander (Article# LS9-390) is housed in a transparent, autoclavable plastic cassette and contains color-coded, titanium-nitride-coated stainless-steel instruments. The kit includes a pilot drill, two saw disks at 7mm and 10mm diameters, a latch adapter, an extender, a manual knop handle, and a 4.0mm wrench. Four tapered expander screws; sized 1.8/2.5, 2.5/3.5, 2.8/4.0, and 4.5mm, provide progressive diameter increments for controlled ridge widening across varying bone widths.
The Dental Ridge Expansion Kit components feature self-threading, tapered screw geometry that gradually displaces bone laterally without removal. The titanium-nitride coating on expander screws reduces surface friction during insertion torque. The latch adapter ensures low-speed handpiece compatibility, while the extender allows increased reach in posterior segments. All instruments withstand repeated autoclave sterilization cycles at 134°C, and the cassette’s perforated base supports steam penetration, maintaining sterility across the full instrument set.
The dental bone expander kit is used by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists during ridge expansion procedures for narrow alveolar ridges. The surgeon initiates the osteotomy with the pilot drill, uses saw disks to score the crestal bone, then sequentially drives expander screws in ascending diameters, starting at 1.8/2.5mm and advancing to 4.5mm, gradually widening the ridge laterally to create adequate bone volume for implant fixture placement without requiring simultaneous grafting in many cases.
Leader Surgical earns consistent trust from periodontists and implant surgeons who need every component of a ridge expansion procedure available in one organized, sterilization-ready cassette. The logical instrument sequence built into this kit reflects a practical understanding of how ridge expansion actually unfolds chair-side, making it a dependable choice for clinics handling complex narrow-ridge implant cases daily.
How do bone expanders differ from traditional drills?
Unlike drills that remove bone to create space, expanders use threaded screws to condense and push bone laterally. This preserves more of the patient’s natural bone and enhances primary stability, especially in soft (Type III or IV) bone.
