A dental instrument for removing teeth or the roots of teeth which cannot be gripped with forceps.
A surgical instrument for raising a depressed part (as a bone) or for separating contiguous parts.
Elevators truly believe in the importance of tissue-preserving extractions. Especially in the field of implantology tissue preserving can avoid complex bone augmentation.
Root elevators enable easy and comfortable tissue preserving extraction of all teeth by:
There are three major components of the elevator are:-
Handle: is usually of generous size, so it can be held comfortably in the hand to apply substantial but controlled force. In some situations, crossbar or T-bar handles are used.
Shank: simply connects the handle to the working end or blade of the elevator. It is generally of substantial size and is strong enough to transmit the force from the handle to the blade.
Blade: This part engages the crown or root and transmits force to the tooth, bone, or both. The working side of the blade is either concave or flat.
