Ridge Mapping Caliper Dental

Ridge Mapping Caliper – Surgical Dental

Description

The Ridge Mapping Caliper – Surgical Dental is a precision surgical instrument used for intraoral measurement of alveolar ridge width prior to implant placement and other oral surgical procedures. This caliper provides accurate assessment of bone dimensions by measuring ridge thickness transgingivally, allowing clinicians to evaluate bone availability and plan treatment without extensive flap elevation. Ridge mapping is an essential clinical step for implant planning, prosthetic design, and ensuring stable implant positioning and long-term success.

Constructed from high-grade stainless steel with clear millimeter graduations and a smooth sliding action, this instrument delivers reliable, repeatable readings in clinical environments. The ergonomic finger rings and finely tapered tips enable safe and controlled measurement on edentulous ridges or surgical sites. Fully autoclavable, the Ridge Mapping Caliper is suitable for routine use in dental implantology, oral surgery, and restorative planning.

Key Features

• Precision Graduated Scale — Millimeter-marked range allows accurate bone width measurement for surgical planning.

• Straight Caliper Design — Enables direct, unobstructed access to measurement sites in the oral cavity.

• Smooth Sliding Mechanism — Provides controlled, repeatable readings with secure adjustment.

• Stainless Steel Construction — Durable, corrosion-resistant material built for long-term clinical use.

• Ergonomic Finger Rings — Comfortable grip ensures stability and control during surgical measurement.

• Autoclavable & Reusable — Suitable for repeated sterilization and everyday clinical practice. 

Applications

• Ridge Width Measurement: Accurately determines alveolar bone width before dental implant placement to guide implant size and positioning.

• Pre-Implant Assessment: Aids clinicians in evaluating whether the ridge requires augmentation or grafting prior to surgery.

• Surgical Planning: Used in oral surgery to map ridge anatomy for predictable surgical outcomes.

• Restorative and Orthodontic Use: Helpful in evaluating ridge dimensions for prosthetic and orthodontic procedures.

• Measurement of Bone and Soft Tissue Thickness: Assesses ridge contours both visually and tactilely in clinical settings.

Ideal For

• Dental implant specialists and oral surgeons requiring detailed bone assessment.

• Restorative and prosthodontic clinicians planning implant-supported restorations.

• Orthodontists evaluating alveolar ridge anatomy for treatment planning.

• Dental educators and students learning precision surgical instruments.

• Clinics and surgical centers focused on predictable implant and surgical outcomes.
