Medical - Medical (general) / bone
Swedish term or phrase: benlocket
Example taken from a pdf on google entitled "Benaugmentation i samband med implantatbehandling".
Sinusslemhinnan lossas från benväggarna
och implantat sätts som tältpinnar in i sinuskaviteten
varefter benlocket läggs på plats. På så sätt
skapar man ett hålrum som begränsas av den upplyfta
slemhinnan och omgivande benväggar.

Anyone know what "benlocket" is in English please - bone cover? It makes sense but doesn't sound that scientific.
Thanks in advance asap.

bone plug


Explanation:
suggest it is a plug to fill the hole(s)
a web search should confirm if this fits your context

Example sentence(s):
  • The Double Bone Plug technique for meniscal tear/deficiency utilizes bone plugs that can either be prepared freehand or by using a coring reamer.
  • The OsteoCure™ Composite Bone Plug (OCP) is a cylindrical implant ideal for filling circular drill holes in bone.

Explanation:
Just thought I'd toss in this suggestion, although admittedly it often (if not always) seems to come up in connection with implants.
