Previous articles in The Compendium (February 1994, April 1994) described the features of the osteotome technique. In the initial article, a procedure that uses osteotomes to elevate the floor of the sinus, called the osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE), was mentioned. This article provides details and case reports on the OSFE. An enhanced version of the OSFE in which bone is added to the osteotomy will also be presented. The author concludes that the OSFE and the bone-added OSFE techniques are suitable means of altering the floor of the sinus so that in many patients, longer implants can be inserted in a less invasive manner.
《概要》（1994年2月、1994年4月）之前的文章描述了骨凿技术的特点。在第一篇文章中，提到了一种使用骨凿抬高窦底的手术，称为骨凿窦底提升术（OSFE）。本文提供了关于OSFE的详细信息和病例报告。还将介绍OSFE的一种改进版本，即在截骨术中添加骨。作者得出结论，OSFE和添加骨的OSFE技术是改变窦底的合适方法，因此在许多患者中，可以以侵入性较小的方式植入更长的种植体。
