History: Who Invented the Osteotome Sinus Lift Technique?

Using an osteotome to prepare an implant site — rather than a rotary drill alone — traces to Dr. Hilt Tatum, who first proposed a transcrestal, osteotome-mediated approach to elevating the sinus floor in 1986. Dr. Robert Summers refined and popularized the technique in his influential 1994 papers, describing a graduated set of concave-tipped osteotomes that laterally compress and condense bone in the posterior maxilla as they're advanced — increasing bone density around the implant site while avoiding the bone removal that drilling causes. That "Summers technique" is still the reference point for the crestal, minimally invasive sinus lift performed with osteotomes today, including the straight, angled, and hollow-cylinder designs in this collection.
