The osteotome technique: a classification for technique approach and clinical case reports.

A classification system for Summers' osteotome technique was proposed, categorizing the technique into 4 classes. Additional descriptions are included to further define different approaches. The classification for the technique approach will assist future communication among clinicians and researchers. This article presents representative clinical cases to aid the clinician in applying the classification for the technique approach.
