A method and devices for bone tissue expansion and compression for
receiving a dental implant are disclosed. The method includes the steps
of creating an initial osseotomy site in the maxilla or the mandable
using a pilot drill; screwing a first threaded expander into the site to
expand the site laterally; and allowing the expander staying in the site
for a short time to impress the interior wall of the osseotomy site; then
retrieving the first expander. These steps are repeated using a second,
and/or third threaded expander having an increasing outer diameter to
further expand the osseotomy site to a final diameter which is
complementary, but narrower than the diameter of the dental implant so
that expanded osseotomy site enables uniform engagement of the implant
with the bone tissue. A preparation drilling to extend osseotomy site
only at cortical level can be incorporated for hard bone and larger
implants.
