- A specialized surgical instrument used in dental and maxillofacial procedures, specifically for sinus lifts
- The primary use is in dental surgery for procedures involving the maxillary sinus
Uses
- Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation:
- It is specifically designed to carefully raise or lift the floor of the maxillary sinus in preparation for dental implants, particularly when there is insufficient vertical bone height
- Bone Compaction/Manipulation:
- Osteotomes are also used for compacting bone and guiding tissue regeneration procedures in the alveolar ridge
Features
- Size:
- It has a 4.0mm diameter tip
- Design:
- It is a straight osteotome with a convex working end
- Measurement Markings:
- The shaft features markings at 6mm, 11mm, and 15mm to help the surgeon accurately measure and control the depth of insertion during the procedure
- Stop Mechanism:
- It incorporates a "stop" feature to prevent over-penetration into the sinus cavity, which enhances safety
- Material:
- Like other premium Miltex instruments, it is made of high-quality, surgical-grade stainless steel
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety:
- The integrated depth stops significantly reduce the risk of perforating the delicate Schneiderian membrane or other surrounding structures
- Precision and Control:
- The measurement markings allow for highly controlled and predictable surgical outcomes, which is crucial in sensitive areas like the sinus
- Reliability:
- As part of the Integra Miltex line, the instrument is manufactured to exacting specifications by skilled craftsmen, ensuring durability and consistent performance
- Improved Patient Outcomes:
- By facilitating precise bone manipulation, it aids in creating a stable foundation for dental implants, leading to successful osseointegration and long-term implant stability
