Root Elevator

A Root Elevator is a fundamental dental surgical instrument used to luxate and elevate tooth roots from their sockets during extractions. It features a sharp, thin, and curved tip that is inserted into the periodontal ligament space between the root and the bone. By applying controlled rotational or leverage force, it severs the periodontal fibers and gently expands the bony socket, allowing for the atraumatic removal of root tips or whole teeth with minimal bone damage, which is crucial for preserving the alveolar ridge.

Key Features:

• Sharp, thin, curved tip for precise insertion into the periodontal space.

• Applies controlled leverage or rotational force to sever periodontal ligaments and expand bone.

• Essential for routine and surgical extractions, especially for removing fractured roots.

• Minimizes trauma to the surrounding alveolar bone, promoting better healing.

• Available in various shapes and sizes (e.g., straight, curved, Cryer, Winter).

• A cornerstone instrument in exodontia and oral surgery.
