  5. Time-Efficient: The innovative design can speed up the extraction process, benefiting both the practitioner and patient.

Optimal Technique for Using the Super Flexible Periotome Bernard Spade

  1. Begin by inserting the thin, flexible blade into the periodontal ligament space.
  2. Use gentle, controlled movements to work the blade around the tooth, severing the periodontal fibers.
  3. Gradually increase the depth of insertion as you progress.
  4. Utilize the spade design for additional leverage when necessary, especially for stubborn or ankylosed teeth.
  5. Once the ligament is sufficiently separated, complete the extraction with appropriate forceps or elevators.

Mastering the Art of Tooth Extraction: A Guide to Dental Elevators

Dental elevators are essential instruments in a dentist’s toolkit, playing a crucial role in tooth extraction procedures. These versatile tools help loosen teeth and roots, making extractions more efficient and less traumatic for patients. In this article, we’ll explore the types, mechanics, and proper use of dental elevators.

Understanding Dental Elevators

Dental elevators, also known as luxators, are instruments designed to sever the periodontal ligament and expand the alveolar bone around teeth. They work on the principle of leverage, using the crest of the socket bone as a fulcrum to dislodge a tooth from its socket.

Types of Dental Elevators

There are three main types of dental elevators:

  1. Straight Elevators: Examples include Coupland’s and Warwick James’ elevators. These have one concave and one convex aspect to the tip and are used for wedging.
  2. Triangular Elevators: Such as Cryer’s or Winter’s elevators. These have a lateral point and are used to deliver class I leverage.
  3. Pick Elevators: These are specifically designed to engage root tips.

Dental Elevators

Mechanics of Dental Elevators

Elevators work by:

  1. Wedging: The blade is introduced into the periodontal space along the tooth’s long axis, separating the periodontal ligaments.
  2. Leverage: The elevator is applied perpendicular to the tooth’s long axis and rotated, using the alveolar bone as a fulcrum.
  3. Wheel and Axle: Commonly used with Cryer’s elevators to remove retained roots by engaging and carefully rotating them out of the socket.

Proper Technique for Using Dental Elevators

  1. Grip: Hold the elevator in the palm of your hand with your index finger extending down the shank for additional control4.
  2. Initial Mobility: Use a straight elevator (e.g., #301 or #92) to gain initial tooth mobility. Insert it perpendicular to the tooth into the space between the tooth to be removed and the adjacent tooth.
  3. Positioning: The elevator should rest on the crest of the bone between the teeth. The concave surface should face the tooth being removed.
  4. Rotation: Keep one edge of the elevator against the alveolar bone as a fulcrum while rotating the other edge toward the tooth being removed.
  5. Caution: Never use the adjacent tooth as a fulcrum to avoid damage4.

Choosing the Right Elevator

The choice of elevator depends on the clinical situation and operator preference4. Factors to consider include:

  • Size: Larger elevators can accommodate more contact points, distributing force more evenly.
  • Tooth Location: Different elevators are designed for specific areas of the mouth.
  • Root Morphology: Some elevators are better suited for multi-rooted teeth or fractured roots.

Safety Considerations

  1. Soft Tissue Protection: Always be mindful of surrounding soft tissues to prevent injury.
  2. Force Control: Apply controlled force to prevent slipping or damaging adjacent structures.
  3. Bone Preservation: Avoid excessive force that could damage the alveolar bone.

Conclusion

Mastering the use of dental elevators is crucial for efficient and safe tooth extractions. By understanding the types, mechanics, and proper techniques, dental professionals can improve their extraction procedures, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced complications.

Remember, proper training and practice are essential for developing proficiency with dental elevators. Always follow best practices and safety protocols when performing tooth extractions.
