What is a Dental Elevator?
It is a surgical instrument widely used in dentistry, especially in tooth extraction procedures. The dental elevator is designed to help separate the tooth from the surrounding bone and gum connective tissue. It is used during tooth extraction to make the extraction of the tooth easier and the extraction process less traumatic. The primary function of the elevator is to "lift" or "separate" the tooth from its socket. This procedure is performed to loosen the connective tissues around the tooth and reduce the force required to extract the tooth. It is usually located between the tooth root and the bone next to the tooth to be extracted.
