clavetage osseux

English translation: Bone wedge

Medical - Medical: Dentistry / dental implants
French term or phrase: clavetage osseux
L’intérêt majeur de ce positionnement infra-osseux est de permettre d’abord la formation d’un caillot sanguin cervical immédiat et puis surtout de libérer l’os cortical de toute contrainte mécanique pour que ce dernier puisse venir s’exprimer horizontalement sur le col implantaire et permettre la formation de tables osseuses élargies *(clavetage osseux)* comparativement à un implant « Bone Level » conventionnel juxta-crestal qui aura tendance, lui, à couper le pont de vascularisation à ce niveau.

The usual translation of clavetage seems to be "keying" or "wedging": does anyone know if there is a standard translation in the dental context?

Explanation:
This term has been posted here in the past though from the opposite linguistic direction, and "wedging" was the term used.

Thanks. I used wedging - it seemed the best translation - but was unable to track down an actual validated translation
