Ridge Mapping Caliper

A Ridge Mapping Caliper is a dental instrument used to measure the width and depth of the alveolar ridge, specifically the bone and soft tissue surrounding a tooth or implant site. It's a key tool in dental procedures like implantology, ridge augmentation, and bone grafting. The caliper helps determine the space available for an implant and the dimensions of the ridge to ensure proper implant placement and prevent damage to surrounding tissues.
