- A 45-degree angled right-side blade, used for tooth elevation and extraction procedures, designed to access difficult areas and cut the periodontal ligament while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues
Uses
- Tooth Luxation:
- Used to loosen the tooth from its periodontal socket by gently rocking and cutting the periodontal ligament
- Root Tip Retrieval:
- The pointed, angled design is particularly useful for retrieving broken root tips or fragments from the socket during an extraction
- Surgical Extractions:
- Aids in general dental extraction procedures by expanding the socket and easing the tooth removal process
- Veterinary Dentistry:
- Applied in animal health and veterinary dental procedures for extractions and related tasks
Features
- Angled Blade:
- Features a 45-degree angle blade designed to provide optimal access and visibility in specific surgical sites, particularly for upper right quadrants or lower left quadrants
- Surgical-Grade Construction:
- Expertly crafted from high-quality German stainless steel, ensuring high durability and a precise "surgical feel"
- One-Piece Design:
- The instrument has a one-piece construction where the tip is permanently welded into the handle, which prevents separation and potential contamination issues
- Regular Handle:
- Designed with a finger platform handle for an enhanced and comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during procedures
- Reusable and Resharpenable:
- The instrument can be sterilized repeatedly in an autoclave and the blade can be resharpened, ensuring long-term use and value
Benefits
- Reduced Trauma:
- The design aims to make extractions as atraumatic as possible, resulting in less tissue damage and faster patient healing times
- Enhanced Access:
- The specific 45-degree angle allows access to hard-to-reach areas that straight elevators cannot easily reach
- Durability and Longevity:
- German engineering and high-quality materials provide superior resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring the instrument maintains its integrity over many years of use and sterilization
- Improved Control:
- The ergonomic handle shape provides superior tactile feedback and control, reducing the chance of applying excessive force that could fracture the tooth
