Are dental elevators reusable?

Yes, they are designed for repeated sterilization and long-term use.

What factors influence elevator selection?

Tooth position, root structure, and access all play a role in choosing the appropriate instrument.

Dental Elevators

Dental elevators are surgical instruments used to loosen teeth, roots, and fragments prior to extraction. By applying controlled force, they help separate the tooth from surrounding bone and periodontal ligament, making removal more efficient and atraumatic.

Commonly used in oral surgery and extractions, dental elevators support precision, control, and reduced trauma during procedures.
