Luxating Root Elevators are specialized dental instruments designed to assist in the extraction of teeth, specifically to sever the periodontal ligament that holds the tooth in place. The 4mm version refers to the size of the tip, which is ideal for working in areas with smaller spaces or in more delicate situations, such as in small or multi-rooted teeth. Dentists typically use these elevators in procedures like tooth extractions, periodontal surgeries, or root removals requiring controlled and precise extractions.
Uses:
- Tooth Extraction: Luxating root elevators primarily aid in tooth extractions, especially when the tooth is severely decayed or compromised. By gently loosening the tooth from the socket, they minimize the trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Root Removal: These tools effectively extract broken or fractured tooth roots that standard extraction instruments cannot easily remove.
- Periodontal Surgery: Luxating root elevators help remove infected or damaged teeth in cases of advanced gum disease while preserving as much bone and soft tissue as possible.
- Subgingival Procedures: They are effective for accessing and extracting teeth below the gumline without causing excessive damage to surrounding tissue.
Key Features:
- Precise Tip (4mm): The 4mm size ensures the tool can fit into smaller or more confined spaces, providing more control and precision during extractions or root removal.
- Thin Blade Design: The thin and tapered blade allows for easy insertion into the periodontal ligament space, enabling gentle loosening of the tooth without fracturing it.
- Angled Handle: Many luxating root elevators have a slight curve or angulation in the handle, which allows for better leverage and maneuverability, making it easier for the dentist or surgeon to work in tight spaces.
- Durable Material:These instruments, typically made of high-quality stainless steel, are designed to maintain their sharpness and functionality even with frequent use.
- Minimized Trauma:A luxating elevator applies controlled force to the tooth and surrounding bone, reducing the risk of fractures or complications during the procedure.
- Ergonomic Handle: Some versions of these elevators feature ergonomic handles that provide a comfortable grip, allowing the dental professional to work for longer periods without discomfort.
