Expanders are also an alternative to the maxillary sinus elevation technique.Many patients do not tolerate the trauma of the osteotome technique. Additionally, there have been documented reports of a variety of complications resulting from the technique.Expanders are driven into the bone with a ratchet wrench or low-speed handpiece. This decreases the surgical trauma of osteotomes.
