Dental Root Elevator Fig 9 Bernard – Changeable Handle

Dental Root Elevators

A dental root elevator is a specialized surgical instrument used primarily in oral surgery for extracting teeth, particularly when the tooth or root is difficult to remove using standard forceps. The elevator helps to loosen the tooth or root from its socket in the jawbone before extraction.

Types of Dental Elevators:

1. Straight Elevators: These have a straight blade and are used for loosening the tooth by applying force between the tooth and the bone.
2. Winged Elevators: These have a curved or angled blade to engage the root or tooth more effectively, particularly for molar extractions.
3. Cryer Elevators (East-West Elevators): These have a right and left orientation, designed to remove roots or tooth fragments in areas with limited access.
4. Luxators: Similar to elevators but with a sharper blade, luxators are used to cut the periodontal ligament and loosen the tooth gently before extraction.
