What is osteotome?

Ostets are simple devices that are designed to make it easier to cut or in some way to mark the bone. Osteotome was developed in the first half of the 19th century, it was often used in medical care facilities and on the battlefield to treat patients who required the removal of part of the bone to survive. While the tool is rarely used for this purpose, the form of the device is often used in contemporary dentistry.

The beginnings of Osteotom are usually monitored in 1830. Developed in Wurzburg, Germany Bernhard Hein, the first device was a simple hand tool that could be used to cut into a skull with greater accuracy than other knife and saw types. It soon developed accessories that allowed this basic design for other uses, such as raking into the bone structure of weapons and feet, making it easier to cut off parts of the bone infected or so seriously damaged that repairing the case possible.

For the rest of the 19th century and well until the 20th century, osteotom was still a valuable tool in the hands of doctors. Osteotoma of the cutter could spray ulna or tibia with greater ease than any other device, which meant that the patient spent less time on the operating room table. Much of the use of use was the fact that surgical osteotom was the top where both sides were chamfered. This was particularly important in situations where the operation occurred without any type of fatal agent for the patient, except for whiskey or other kind of alcoholic beverage.

In time, a form of osteotoma was developed for use in dental procedures. Due to the high degree of accuracy by the device, oral surgeons are easily able to modify the quality and amount of bone around theimplants to ensure stable adaptation. The ultimate result is implants that look natural and cause the patient little or noneé discomfort during the recovery period and further.

The

dental osteotoma proved to be more permanent than a surgical model. While Ostets for use in dental implantation have remained common today, more efficient tools have replaced the older version of this cutting device in the 1920s. In the mid -20th century, the original design together with its accessories virtually disappeared from use in most countries.
