The present invention provides an osteotome for sinus lifting and dental
ridge expansion which includes an osteotome shank, a trepanelevation tip
member, and a head. The trepanelevation tip member provides a cavity at a
tip end and a prominence protruded from the bottom of the cavity. In this
manner, during dental ridge expansion, the sharp edge of the
trepanelevation tip member will secure the position and provide initial
splitting of bones of sinus floor. Subsequently, the prominence will
provide appropriate pressure for bone lifting. By applying the splitting
force and compaction force alternatively in the same tip, the edge and
prominence of the osteotome can lift the sinus in a much safer and more
effective manner.
