A dental root elevator is a dental instrument used in oral surgery procedures, particularly during tooth extraction. It is designed to loosen and elevate the tooth from its socket in the alveolar bone by applying controlled force to the root of the tooth.
The root elevator consists of a long handle and a working end. The working end is typically curved or angled and has a thin, flat blade with a sharp edge. The blade is inserted between the tooth and the surrounding bone, and then gentle pressure is applied to lift and loosen the tooth from its socket.
Root elevators come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different tooth types and locations within the mouth. The selection of the appropriate root elevator depends on factors such as the tooth's position, root morphology, and the surgeon's preference.
During a tooth extraction procedure, the dental professional may use a combination of different instruments, including forceps and elevators. The root elevator is often employed after the initial loosening of the tooth using dental forceps, allowing for further elevation and separation of the tooth from the surrounding tissues.
