Product Name: Root Elevators Set.

Usage: Dental root elevators are specialized tools used by dentists and oral surgeons to loosen or luxate teeth and their roots from the surrounding bone and periodontal ligament before extraction. They are indispensable for removing fractured roots, impacted teeth, and teeth too weak to withstand the pressure of forceps, making extraction safer and more efficient. Elevators work by applying controlled force and leverage to sever the periodontal ligament, expanding the space around the root and easing its removal.

How Root Elevators Work

1. Luxation:
The primary function is to luxate the tooth. This involves placing the elevator’s blade between the tooth root and the alveolar bone.
2. Severing the Periodontal Ligament:
Gentle, controlled pressure is applied with the elevator to sever the periodontal ligament, which connects the tooth to the bone.
3. Leverage and Movement:
The elevator acts as a lever, with the dentist’s fingers or the bone as a fulcrum, applying force to lift and move the tooth.
4. Creating Space:
The luxation process expands the space around the root, allowing for easier removal with the elevator itself or with dental forceps.

When Elevators Are Used

Fractured Roots:
After a tooth crown breaks, leaving only the root embedded in the bone, an elevator is used to loosen and remove the root.
Impacted or Malposed Teeth:
Teeth that haven’t fully erupted or are positioned incorrectly can be difficult or impossible to grasp with forceps. Elevators help to dislodge these teeth by creating space.
Teeth with Extensive Decay:
Teeth with heavy decay or fillings may be too fragile for forceps.
Surgically Sectioned Teeth:
When a tooth needs to be split or sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal, elevators are used to help separate the sections.
Bone Removal:
Small amounts of bone may need to be removed to create a proper point of application for the elevator’s beaks or for forceps.

Components of a Dental Elevator

Handle: A large, comfortable handle allows the dentist to grip and apply controlled force.
Shank: The strong connection between the handle and the working end.
Blade: The tip of the instrument, which is designed to fit into tight spaces and apply leverage. The shape and size of the blade vary depending on the type of tooth and the specific extraction situation.
