Root Elevators

Ergonomic Root Elevators Ensuring Gentle Tooth Separation

Dental root elevators are used to loosen and elevate teeth or roots before extraction with forceps. By applying controlled leverage between the tooth and surrounding bone, elevators reduce the need for excessive force, minimizing trauma to the alveolar socket and adjacent tissues.

What Is a Root Elevator?

Root elevators and luxation elevators are used for gently extracting teeth without causing unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues. They work by loosening the tooth and lifting it from its socket, making the removal process smoother and less traumatic.

What Does a Dental Elevator Look Like?

Handle: The ergonomic grip that allows the dentist to apply pressure and control the instrument.
Shank: The connecting section between the handle and blade, often angled for better access to different areas of the mouth.
Blade (or tip): The working end, typically sharp and curved or straight, designed to wedge between the tooth/root and bone for leverage.

Are Dental Elevators Sharp?

Yes, dental elevators need to stay razor-sharp to perform at their best, much like scalers and curettes. A dull edge reduces their precision and effectiveness during procedures.

What Is a Root Tip Elevator Used For?

A root tip elevator, also known as a root tip pick, is a surgical tool primarily used to remove small root tips or fragments that might break off and remain in the socket during a tooth extraction.

Types of Root Elevators

Straight Elevators – provide axial force for initial luxation.
Apical Elevators – fine tips for working near the root apex.
Cryer Elevators – triangular blades designed for interradicular bone and root fragment removal.
Periosteal Elevators with Root Elevation Function – allow soft tissue reflection and gentle luxation.

Clinical Uses of Dental Root Elevators

Luxating teeth before forceps application.
Removing broken roots or root fragments.
Preserving bone integrity by reducing traumatic force.

Key Benefits of Dental Root Elevators

Improved control, reduced risk of fracture, and less post-operative discomfort.
