Method for expanding bone crest (1) in order to receive the installationof a final dental implant (4), where the bone crest (1) is expanded using aimplant-expander, in other words, a biocompatible and osteoconductive piecethat has an expander function. The use of an implant-expander (3) to widen thebone crest (1) has the important effect of said implant-expander acting as asupport to the bone and therefore helping to consolidate the fracture of thebone crest (1) and the formation of bone around said implant-expander. Thebone generated around the implant-expander (3) is therefore of a high quality.The invention also contemplates the optional correction of the angulation ofthealveolus during the widening process, so that the final dental implant (4) andthe corresponding dental prosthesis are adequately oriented. It is also anobjectof the invention to provide a specific design for the implant-expander (3).
