Root Elevators

Root Elevators – Precision Instruments for Atraumatic Tooth Extraction

Root elevators are essential dental surgical instruments specifically designed to assist in the loosening and removal of tooth roots or fractured tooth fragments from the alveolar bone. Commonly used in oral surgery, general dentistry, and dental clinics, root elevators provide dentists and oral surgeons with enhanced control, precision, and efficiency during extraction procedures, especially in cases where conventional forceps cannot be effectively applied.

Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade stainless steel, root elevators offer exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Their finely crafted working tips are engineered to fit accurately between the tooth root and the surrounding periodontal ligament, allowing controlled leverage that gently separates the root from the socket. This design minimizes trauma to the surrounding bone and soft tissues, promoting faster healing and improved patient comfort.

Root elevators are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including straight, angled, and triangular designs, to accommodate different clinical situations and anatomical variations. The ergonomic handles are designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip, enabling precise manipulation and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. Their balanced weight and smooth finish ensure optimal handling and control throughout the extraction process.

These instruments are widely used for removing retained roots, broken teeth, impacted fragments, and residual root tips following crown fracture. Root elevators play a vital role in atraumatic extraction techniques, helping preserve alveolar bone structure, which is especially important for future restorative treatments such as dental implants or prosthetics.

Designed for easy cleaning and sterilization, root elevators are fully autoclavable and meet international standards for dental surgical instruments. Whether used in routine extractions or complex surgical procedures, they are a reliable and indispensable addition to any dental practice or surgical setup.
