Periosteal elevators are used for the reflection, separation, and retraction of gingival and periosteal tissues from underlying bone. The primary purpose is to provide access and visibility during surgical and extraction procedures, while minimizing tissue trauma.
Periosteal elevators are available in various designs and sizes, each tailored for specific clinical situations:
Molt Series (Molt-2/4, Molt-7, Molt-9) – among the most commonly used.
Goldman-Fox Elevator – features slender, curved blades for delicate flap reflection and retraction.
Buser Elevator – designed for precise flap elevation in implant and periodontal surgery.
Prichard Elevator – offers wider, flat ends for reflecting large tissue flaps.
Other Specialized Types – such as Woodson and Freer, designed for specific periodontal or surgical applications.
Each type differs in blade shape, size, and angulation, giving clinicians the right instrument for both delicate and extensive tissue management.
Periosteal elevators are widely used across dental and oral surgical procedures, including:
Flap Reflection – carefully separating gingival and periosteal tissue to expose bone.
Tooth Extraction Support – reflecting soft tissue to improve access for elevators and forceps.
Periodontal Surgery – assisting in flap surgeries for scaling, root planing, or regenerative procedures.
Implant Surgery – raising full-thickness flaps to expose the surgical site.
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery – aiding in bone exposure and soft tissue management.
Allows precise tissue separation with minimal trauma.
Enhances visibility and access to surgical sites.
Available in a wide range of blade shapes and sizes to suit various procedures.
Reusable, fully sterilizable stainless steel construction ensures long service life.

A periosteal elevator, a dental instrument, plays a vital role in various oral surgeries. It is primarily used to detach the periosteum, the thin membrane covering bone, to expose the surgical site. This step is necessary before tooth extraction, implant placement, or bone grafting. The dual-ended design typically features one sharp and one blunt edge, giving dentists precise control when working around delicate tissues and bone structures.
Each periosteal elevator in our collection is made from high-grade stainless steel that offers durability and resistance to corrosion. The smooth, contoured handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
