Abstract: An improved flapless dental implant punch is disclosed. This punch is designed to reduce or eliminate the present cumbersome linear incision method presently used for dental implant procedures. In one embodiment, the invention is a disposable or reusable punch with a handle on one end, and a shank with a roughly cylindrical hollow punch with a circular cutting edge, usually around 1-6 mm in diameter, and often around 2-3 mm in diameter. Unlike prior art punches, however, the invention is configured to additionally make a number of precisely defined linear incisions in the gum tissue during the punching process. As a result, after the underlying jaw bone is exposed by the action of the device, the gum tissue lining the walls of the exposed hole now have enhanced mobility due to the presence of multiple short incisions radiating away from the sides of the gum hole.
