GDC Osteotome Concave Angulated Set of 6 in Cassette (Ostmshawc6)
The GDC Concave osteotomes are primarily utilized in dental sinus lifting procedures, also referred to as sinus augmentation or sinus grafting. During a sinus lift, the sinus membrane is elevated, and bone graft material is placed beneath it to increase the bone height in the upper jaw. This procedure creates a more suitable foundation for dental implants in patients who have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw.
Concave osteotomes play a vital role in preparing the site for the bone graft. Once the sinus membrane is lifted, the surgeon uses a series of concave osteotomes to gently place and compress the bone graft material against the existing bone. This technique ensures that the graft material is evenly distributed and makes close contact with the surrounding bone, encouraging better integration and healing of the graft.
The set is conveniently housed in a cassette, which securely holds each osteotome in place, facilitating easy transportation and storage. This versatile set is commonly used in various procedures, including dental implant placement, sinus lift surgeries, and orthopedic bone grafting.
