  • Title: Transcrestal sinus floor elevation with osteotomes: simplified technique and management of various scenarios.
    Author: Greenstein G, Cavallaro J.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2011 May; 32(4):12, 14-20; quiz 22. PubMed ID: 21661657.
    Abstract:
    In order to place implants subantrally when there is a reduced amount of bone, some form of bone augmentation is required. A transcrestal sinus floor elevation using osteotomes can increase bone levels and is a highly successful procedure. However, malleting osteotomes can be disconcerting for a patient. Therefore, a simplified technique is presented that minimizes the use of a mallet when executing a sinus floor elevation in medium dense bone. In addition, issues related to performing a transcrestal sinus floor elevation are addressed.
