The periosteotome is a dual-ended instrument with flat-rounded tips and is used to gently elevate the gingival and mucosa away from a diseased pocket after an incision has been made. Tip widths are 2mm and 4mm. 6”L.
The KRUUSE winged elevator provides you with a very sharp blade and the lateral wings match the shape of the tooth. This combination will help stretch and cut the periodontal ligaments.
Every vet working with dentistry has a favourite shape of the handles of elevators and luxators. The most important considerations are a good ergonomic fit to secure a firm grip and the sharpness of the tip. When choosing the KRUUSE pear shaped handle, you get a perfect fit in the palm of your hand as well as a choice between two handle lengths. This will allow you to gain complete control of the tip of the instrument and you will get a good experience of holding the optimal tooth extraction instrument in your hand.
Choosing the right size handle - a standard or a stubby (short) handle? It is a great advantage to have two different sizes of handles to choose between, when selecting your luxators/elevators. It is important to have full control over the instrument, otherwise it can slip and hurt the patient. If you can put the blunt end of the handle in your palm and almost reach the tip of the instrument with your index finger, then the dental instrument is the right size for your hand.
Both tooth files have a diamond-coated abrasive surface, which allows considerably more uniform trimming of molars than is possible with conventional tooth rasps. The short handle and small abrasive surface significantly reduce the risk of injuring the blood vessels located in the angle of the mandible.
The coarse file is used to quickly trim any angular tooth protuberances that are difficult to reach with the trimmer. The fine file is used for smoothing off after trimming the tooth tips, and for removing small protuberances.
Both files are also well suited to trimming deformed bird and tortoise beaks.
Special instrument for extraction of deciduous teeth.
Our curved deciduous elevators are made specifically for extraction of deciduous teeth - which can be a very demanding procedure. The three different sizes of deciduous elevators cover the large variety of deciduous teeth. The periodontal ligament is cut by the sharp elevator end, while the elevator tip follows the mesial and the distal curve of the root respectively. The elevators can also be used for rabbit and rodent incisors.
Surgical extractions involve lifting a flap of gingiva from the alveolar bone, before removing bone overlying the tooth root.
Our periosteal blades have a special combination of sharp leading edge, rounded curves and angled sides, to make lifting a gingival flap fast and simple.
PERIOSTEAL ELEVATION TECHNIQUE
Periosteal elevation is essential for raising muco-periosteal (gingival) flaps before surgical extraction.
Incise the gingiva to form the flap of your choice.
Insert the blade under the gingiva, pressing down onto the bone & work the blade from side to side to lift the periosteum from the bone.
Gently lift the instrument to peel the periosteum away from the bone.
The Periosteal Blade Set is currently only available to customers on our Stay Sharp Re-order Programme.
