Dental Elevators for Loosening Teeth and Roots
The dental elevator, also known as the Flohr elevator, is an important instrument in dentistry. The elevator is used to loosen the periodontal ligament during an extraction or to remove root fragments from fractured teeth. Once the periodontal ligament is severed, the dentist can loosen the tooth in the socket using the elevator.
Depending on the area, straight or curved dental instruments with rounded or sharply tapered working ends, or even scoop- or claw-shaped tips, are used. Loosening the tooth aims to avoid fractures whenever possible, allowing the tooth to be removed in one piece with forceps. The dental elevator is an important instrument in dentistry because it facilitates procedures in the alveolar bone and assists the dentist in treating patients.
In the surgical dental instruments category, you will find not only elevators in various sizes but also other instruments needed for tooth extraction, including forceps and scalpels.
