The GDC Concave Osteotome Set of 6 in Pouch (Ostmshsp6) is primarily used in dental sinus lifting procedures, also known as sinus augmentation or sinus grafting. These procedures are performed to increase the height of the bone in the upper jaw, providing a more suitable environment for dental implants. This is especially beneficial for patients who have experienced bone loss in the upper jaw.
During a sinus lift, the sinus membrane is carefully lifted, and bone graft material is placed underneath to restore bone volume. The concave osteotomes play a crucial role in preparing the site for this graft. Once the sinus membrane is elevated, a series of concave osteotomes are used to gently pack the bone graft material into the designated area.
By compressing the graft material against the existing bone, the osteotomes help ensure an even distribution of the graft material. This promotes better integration of the bone graft with the surrounding bone tissue, improving the overall success of the sinus lift procedure and subsequent dental implant placement.
