Top 10 Dental Elevators

Elevators are dental instruments used to loosen and elevate the teeth in their sockets prior to extraction in order to create space and prevent trauma to adjacent teeth and tissues. The working end has thin, sharp blades that are used to cut periodontal ligaments and loosen tissue from bone. The shank may be straight or angled in order to access specific areas of the mouth.
