Sometimes, the severe superior maxillary atrophy compromises and even impide oral implants treatment. The use of rotatory instruments (drills) produce heat and lost of bone, but the osteotomes in implantology avoid this and simplifies the surgical treatment allowing implant installation with an easier technique. We present an expansive maxillary technique review, describing the main indications, advantages and disadvantages of this surgical procedure.

PURPOSE: To observe the effect of orbital dental template with part-opening channels used in dental implant surgery. METHODS: Working casts were made for 13 cases with missing teeth after impressions were taken. The dentitions of the cases were then restored with wax teeth. Part-opening channels were made through the wax teeth. After that, impressions and working casts were made again to fabricate the template with part-opening channels by thermo-forming technique. During the implant surgery, the drilling of the bur and inserting of the implants were guided by the part-opening channels on the templates. RESULTS: The working cast and X-ray films of the 12 cases showed that all implants were placed in desirable location and accurate direction with satisfactory prostheses. CONCLUSION: The dental template with part-opening channels could help the operator to place the implants in desirable location and direction successfully. Its fabrication was simple, but it could offer us great convenience.
