- Used to sever the PDL, the tissue that holds the tooth in its socket, to facilitate less traumatic extractions
Features:
- Purpose:
- The micro-serrated tips allow the periotome to "saw" through the periodontal ligament, enabling the dentist to remove teeth with minimal damage to the surrounding bone and soft tissue
- This preserves the socket for faster patient healing and potential implant placement
- Design:
- Has a double-ended, contra-angled design that provides easy access to the anterior teeth
- Ergonomics:
- The double-ended instrument has a large-diameter, ultra-lightweight, solid resin handle with extended knurling in "Passionate Purple"
- This design improves grip, enhances tactile sensitivity, and helps reduce hand fatigue and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
- Durability:
- Blade is made from cryogenically treated 440A surgical stainless steel
- This process makes the blade sharper, harder, and tougher, allowing it to hold its edge for longer periods
- Manufacturing:
- The instrument is handcrafted in the USA
