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