Product Name: Root Luxators Set.

Usage: Dental luxators are thin-edged instruments used to cut Sharpey fibers in the periodontal ligament, thereby loosening a tooth from its socket and assisting in its removal. Unlike elevators that use rotational leverage, luxators are forced apically (downward) along the tooth’s long axis to separate the tooth from the surrounding bone and ligaments, making the extraction process more precise, controlled, and less traumatic to tissues.

How Luxators Work

1. Insertion:
The thin, sharp blade of the luxator is gently wedged into the space between the tooth and the surrounding bone (the periodontal ligament).
2. Cutting Action:
The instrument is then forced downward along the long axis of the tooth, severing the Sharpey’s fibers that anchor the tooth.
3. Luxation:
This action progressively dislocates the tooth from its socket, making it mobile and easier to remove with forceps or even by the luxator itself.
4. Control and Precision:
The precise, controlled separation helps minimize damage to the delicate ligaments and surrounding bone, leading to less patient discomfort and faster healing compared to force-based extraction methods.

Key Features and Differences

Design:
Luxators have a less concave and thinner blade compared to a typical elevator, allowing for better penetration into the periodontal ligament.
Function:
Elevators act as levers to move the tooth, while luxators primarily cut and separate it from its attachments.
Material:
The shank and blade are often made of softer steel than elevators, as they are not designed to transmit rotational forces from a strong leverage.

Uses in Dentistry
Tooth Extraction: The primary use is to loosen and remove teeth.
Root Canal Therapy: They can be used in some procedures related to root canals to gain access or control.
Implant Placement: Their precision can be beneficial in other surgical procedures like implant placement.
