The Ridge Split Saw Disc is a precision surgical instrument designed for ridge splitting and controlled horizontal and vertical osteotomies during implant site preparation. It is specifically used to expand narrow alveolar ridges, allowing adequate space for dental implant placement while preserving the surrounding bone structure.

The disc enables precise splitting of the buccal and lingual cortical plates, creating a controlled space that facilitates gradual bone expansion. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel with a diamond-dusted cutting surface, it provides exceptional sharpness, smooth cutting performance, and long-lasting durability with minimal vibration.

Compatible with latch-type physio contra-angle handpieces, the Ridge Split Saw Disc ensures stable handling and precise depth control. With a 10 mm diameter and 5 mm cutting depth, it is ideal for predictable ridge split procedures, making it a reliable tool for implantologists performing bone expansion techniques.

Pre-Operative Preparation

Ensure all instruments are properly sterilized before use.

Evaluate the ridge width and anatomy using appropriate radiographic imaging.

Handpiece Setup

Attach the disc securely to a surgical contra-angle or straight handpiece as recommended by the manufacturer.

Ensure adequate irrigation is available before starting the procedure.

Procedure

Mark the osteotomy line accurately along the ridge crest.

Begin cutting with light, steady pressure along the marked crest line.

Gradually extend the cut to the desired depth required for ridge splitting.

If necessary, use chisels or expanders to complete the ridge split in a controlled manner.

Irrigation

Maintain continuous sterile saline irrigation throughout the procedure to prevent bone overheating and thermal damage.
