GDC Periosteal Elevator Molt-9 Large – 1 (P9)

PERIOSTEAL Elevators are instruments used in dental extractions.
They may be used to loosen teeth prior to forcep extraction, to remove roots or impacted teeth.

Periosteal elevators are mainly used to lift full-thickness soft tissue flaps.
The tips require protection and need to be kept very sharp otherwise shredding of the flap can happen.
Ideally used for retracting & elevating mucoperiosteum during minor or major oral surgery.

Elevators work on the principle of leverage to dislodge a tooth from its socket.
The fulcrum is usually the crest of the socket bone; however, adjacent teeth can be used if they are also to be extracted.
