The sinus floor elevation, is a surgical procedure, performed to increase the vertical bone dimension in the posterior maxillary area in order to allow the placement of dental implants.

Maxillary sinus floor elevation techniques can be operated with a lateral approach (A.H. Tatum - 1986), by transcrestal approach (TSFE) or by the use of a specific set of osteotomes for preparing the implant site and elevating the sinus floor (R. B. Summers - 2007).

Moreover the hand mallet method needs a high level hand technique also because the positioning of the osteotome and its alignment in bone, due to the different density of the parts of the bone, is rather hard. It deass also with a sensitive technique that restricts the surgeon's direct visual examination.

Here’s why several surgeons don’t perform sinus lift by hand mallet technique.

Meta Ergonomica designed Magnetic Mallet to ride over hand mallet method difficulties getting the technique easy to make and available for every surgeon.
