The Complementary Design of Osteotome helped you to facilitate straightforward and precise implant placement
Osteotomes are excellent dental instruments used in implant surgeries. These instruments can be used to cut, deform, or compress the bone to facilitate implant placement. Dental implants are a routine part of clinical practice because many patients prefer to get implants. Patients would rather get implants than opt for other fixed Prosthesis options. Dental implants ensure a long-lasting replacement option for patients.
This is a wedge-shaped instrument with different steepness of taper. They are available in different shapes and sizes of blades.
The osteotomes give the operator tactile sensation of the underlying bone. This instrument compresses the bone, which causes the bony trabeculae to become compact. This compaction aids in a better foundation for implant placement. Furthermore, It also comes into use for sinus lift procedures and jaw bone cleaving.
Osteotomes are available with offset handles and different working tips. They have cylindrical or semi-round rods. These round rods and cylinders are driven into the bone with a mallet to compress it. Hence, using this instrument requires skill and experience. The clinician needs to know about the depth of advancement.
Osteotomes gives the ability to create extensive bone volume both in vertical and horizontal directions, making initial stability possible
Osteotomes Use in Dentistry
Osteotomes with a flat blade design may be used in the anterior maxillary region. They need to be wetted with saline or sterile water to aid in their movement through the bone. Round Osteotomes are for use with straight movement cutting in and out of the bone.
Osteotomes create space for Osseointegration. They increase the apical floor for osteotomies. They compact the bone for implant stabilization and provide a tactile sensation to the operator to gauge bone quality.
D-shaped/ convex osteotomes can cut the bones by the side to side movements. It gives mesial-distal movement rather than a straight in and out movement. The facial lingual movement is avoided in this type.
Types of Osteotomes
These dental instruments are manufactured in a wide range of sizes and patterns. Each size and pattern is designed for a particular implant case.
Have a look at some common types of osteotome!
Straight Osteotomes
This bi-beveled instrument has two cutting tips. Straight osteotomes come into use for sinus lifts. They elevate the floor of the maxillary sinus. They have concave working ends that are straight in design. It has markings of 7mm, 10 mm, 11mm, 13mm, and 15mm.
Offset Osteotomes
The offset osteotome has the same function as a straight osteotome. The difference between the two is that the offset osteotome has an offset shank. Besides that, the offset osteotome is also available in five different diameters.
Concave Osteotomes
These types are used for breaking the floor of the maxillary sinus through implant advancement. They are available in offset and straight designs.
Convex Osteotomes
These dental instruments raise the floor of the maxillary sinus. They are also available with offset and straight shanks. The straight type may be with or without stops. Stops are used to maintain equal distance in millimeters.
Maintenance Care Tips
The dental implant instruments need to be examined periodically to ensure the good efficacy of the dental tools. All mobile parts and blades should be looked at carefully. All instruments should be autoclaved. Hit the maintenance list below:
• Check your instruments periodically
• Should pack instruments properly
• Sterilize before and after use
• Keep at a de-contaminated place
