1 . An instrument for laterally condensing a bone graft material between a raised portion of a sinus membrane and a bony floor of a sinus, the instrument comprising:
a handle elongated along a longitudinal axis of the instrument and
a distal head extending upwardly from an upper end of the handle and laterally from the longitudinal axis of the instrument,
the distal head including
a downwardly curved rear portion,
a rounded forward end,
an upper surface extending between the downwardly curved rear portion and the rounded forward end,
a flat lower surface extending horizontally between the rounded forward end and the handle, and
vertically extending substantially flat sides extending from the upper surface between the downwardly curved rear portion and the rounded forward end and the flat lower surface between the rounded forward end and the handle.
