The dental osteotome is a versatile surgical instrument designed for precise bone cutting and preparation, featuring an offset design suitable for anterior and posterior use.Equipped with a safety double stop screw, it allows adjustment of the working depth to ensure controlled procedures. Used notably in sinus lift techniques, these osteotomes elevate the sinus floor to accommodate implants and additional bone concurrently, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional sinus augmentation surgery.
This approach requires minimal pre-existing bone beneath the maxillary sinus floor, enhancing patient comfort during recovery. Additionally, osteotomes are pivotal for bone condensation, enhancing implant stability in cancellous bone by reinforcing it radially.
Available in various types corresponding to endosteal implant diameters, they are made from durable stainless steel, feature a rounded apex for precision, and are autoclavable for rigorous sterilization at 134°C, ensuring safety and reliability in surgical settings.
