Curved Osteotome

Description

Curved Osteotome

An osteotome lets you prepare an implant site by pushing bone aside rather than drilling it away. This curved osteotome brings that technique to sites a straight shank cannot reach comfortably. The bend in the shank keeps your hand and the handle clear of the opposing arch, which matters most in the posterior maxilla.

Two Tip Diameters

• 4 mm: for early widening of a pilot osteotomy and for narrower implants.
• 7.5 mm: for the final expansion steps ahead of a wide-body implant.

Most surgeons work up through the sequence, tapping lightly at each step, so the bone is compacted against the walls of the site in small increments.

Depth Marks You Can Read

Graduations at 7, 10, 13, 15 and 18 mm line the working end. Therefore you can check depth against the planned implant length as you advance, without changing instruments. The same marks help when you lift the sinus floor through a crestal approach and need to stop just short of the membrane.

Why a Curved Shank

A straight osteotome forces the mallet and handle into the line of the site. In the upper molar region that line often runs into the lower teeth. By contrast, the curved shank moves the striking end forward, so you keep a clear line of force and a clear view of the marks.

Checked Here, Covered for Years

Our team inspects each osteotome in the United States before it ships from Atlanta, and each one is backed for three years against manufacturing defects. It arrives non-sterile; clean it and run a full autoclave cycle before first use.

The steel meets ASTM F899 for surgical stainless. For a straight shank, see the Long Straight Osteotome, browse all dental implant instruments, or read our FAQs.

Meant for licensed clinicians and trained implant surgeons. Our care and sterilization guide and shipping page cover reprocessing and delivery.
