osteotome

An osteotome is an instrument used for cutting or preparing bone.

He wanted an osteotome, but could find none.

A new concept in maxillary implant surgery: The osteotome technique.

It was a "bone saw", which he called osteotome and which revolutionized surgical treatment.

Using an osteotome, a long, thin, chisel-like instrument, he chopped deep into the bone, producing additional chips.

The osteotome technique: Part 3 - Less invasive methods of elevating the sinus floor.

In 1836 already a doctoral thesis on the "Osteotome and its application" was published in Munich.

The amount of augmentation achieved with the osteotome technique is usually less than what can be achieved with the lateral window.

To leave no visible, surgical scars upon the new nose, the surgeon effects the osteotome (bone chisel) incisions to the nasal bones beneath the facial skin.

The surgeon cuts the cartilage portion of the hump with a scalpel, and chisels the bone portion with an osteotome (bone chisel).

The chain osteotome, originally referred to simply as the osteotome, was invented by the German physician Bernhard Heine in 1830.

After chiselling away the main mass of the nasal hump with an osteotome, the surgeon then sculpts, refines, and smoothens the cut nasal bones with rasps (files).

William Macewen at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary develops the first bone grafts, and also performs knee surgery using a special instrument (Macewen's osteotome), for the treatment of rickets.

This instrument, the osteotome, had links of a chain carrying small cutting teeth with the edges set at an angle; the chain was moved around a guiding blade by turning the handle of a sprocket wheel.

In a surgical extraction the doctor may elevate the soft tissues covering the tooth and bone and may also remove some of the overlying and/or surrounding jawbone tissue with a drill or osteotome.

As an alternative, sinus augmentation can be performed by a less invasive osteotome technique, in which the sinus membranes are lifted by gentle tapping of the sinus floor with the use of osteotomes.

While at the Infirmary he introduced the practice of doctors wearing sterilisable white coats, performed some of the first bone grafts, developing a one-piece osteotome and performing a number of studies on animal bones that lead to treatments for a number of bone-related maladies.

There is evidence in the dental literature that malleting of an osteotome during closed sinus floor elevation, otherwise known as osteotome sinus elevation or lift, transmits enough percussive and vibratory forces capable of detaching otoliths from their normal location and leading to the symptoms of BPPV.
