  • The implant is actually a specialized implant designed specifically for this procedure. It is a finned (not threaded) Tatum "D" shaped implant. It is flat on its "palatal" side and D-shaped on the facial side. The reason of the bone graft at the time of placement is the depth of the fins of the implant. We wanted to assure that there is plenty of graft in the fin space.

  • Do you think that implant is not on right angulation?

  • this is not  splitting ...

  • This is a very interesting, and most likely very effective approach, but for some reason I still like the fixture screw approach. It just seems more practical. The fins seem like a great idea, but threads seem more economical. Nice work though!

  • Hilt Tatum was devestated that this video was named 'Ridge Split'. According to his definition, its expansion and not splitting because periosteal blood supply is maintained and hence done flapless. Very good video - shame people comment negatively because they are what the tatum institute call Screwologists, not Implantologists.

  • The Tatum D-Fin has many advantages over the screw - bone forms between the fins and it has immense strength due to the bone being under compressive load. The labial expansion has allowed for aesthetic emergence profile and the Tatum system has posts that are angled up to 60 degrees for easy prosthetics. In short, allows superior aesthetics and integration and removes need to graft. It requires more skill to understand and execute bone expansion techniques rather than drilling.
