- A heavy-duty dental instrument primarily used as a lever to luxate teeth and elevate fractured root fragments from the socket
- It is distinct for its robust, pick-style tip designed to apply significant mechanical leverage
Uses
- Tooth Extractions:
- Used to apply controlled force to loosen and elevate teeth prior to using forceps for extraction
- Root Tip Removal:
- Specifically designed for delicate retrieval of small, broken, or impacted root fragments from the alveolar socket
- Creating Space:
- Helps separate the periodontal ligament from the tooth and expand the socket, minimizing trauma to surrounding bone and tissue
- Accessing Tight Areas:
- The pick-style tip is ideal for accessing hard-to-reach areas and engaging fine root tips
Features
- Crane Pick Design (#8):
- This specific pattern features a sharp, delicate, and durable pick-style tip designed for precise work
- High-Quality German Stainless Steel:
- Crafted from premium-grade stainless steel forgings, ensuring superior durability and corrosion resistance
- Permanent Weld Handle:
- Features a handle that is permanently welded to the tip, eliminating seams and ensuring maximum strength
- Finger Platform:
- The handle design includes finger platforms, providing a better, more secure grip and enhanced tactile sensitivity for the clinician
- Resharpenable:
- The surgical-grade material allows the working tip to be resharpened to maintain its effectiveness over time
Benefits
- Reduced Trauma:
- The precise application of force and ability to loosen the tooth from the socket helps prevent trauma to adjacent teeth and bone, leading to faster healing
- Superior Strength:
- The all-stainless steel construction offers enhanced strength and longevity compared to instruments with plated or multi-part handles
- Improved Control:
- The finger platforms and ergonomic handle design provide optimal control and alignment during delicate procedures, reducing hand fatigue
- Reliable Sterilization:
- The one-piece, seamless construction resists discoloration and corrosion, allowing the instrument to withstand repeated, high-temperature sterilization cycles
