Bone expander drills are an alternative to osteotomes for the expansion and condensing of the atrophic mandible and maxilla in preparation for dental implant insertions. Expanders are also an alternative to the maxillary sinus elevation technique. Many patients do not tolerate the trauma of the osteotome technique.

Additionally, there have been documented reports of a variety of complications resulting from the technique.

Expanders are driven into the bone with a ratchet wrench or low-speed hand piece. This decreases the surgical trauma of osteotomes. Bone expanders improve the clinical success by improving stability, maintaining bone density and increasing fixation.

The Bone Expander Kit from ITL Dental includes five bone expanders, a ratchet wrench, a pilot drill, a ratchet wrench connector, a handpiece connector and a thumb knob for finger usage. The kit is autoclavable. The cost of the kit is less than US$500, making it one of the most economical expander kits.
