Osteotomy & Device Placement
Completely section this region vertically, up to 3 mm away from the inferior alveolar canal.
Reposition the saw blade to section the buccal cortex by placing the saw upside down, and carry the osteotomy through the alveolar crest superoinferiorly to approximately 3 mm superior to the inferior alveolar canal.
Use a periosteal elevator to protect the lingual periosteum and guard against lingual nerve injury.
FIG. 6.1.10.2. The osteotomy is started at the inferior border and continues onto the buccal surface of the mandible.
