This elevator has the same function as a regular dental elevator, but is thin and narrow and has a longer blade to facilitate removal of roots or bone fragments. 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 andhurt 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.
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.
