A dental osteotome is a surgical hand instrument designed for precise bone manipulation during dental procedures, particularly when preparing sites for dental implants. Clinically, it is used to shape bone, expand ridges, condense tissue, or elevate the sinus floor by applying controlled impacts with a mallet, ensuring optimal implant placement and stability.
These devices are typically reusable, made from high-grade stainless steel, and come with features like graduated tips to measure depth. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical use and risk profile, with compliance requirements tied to their intended clinical application and manufacturing standards.
