2 Pieces Set Includes (1)... Dental Crane Pick Root Elevator #8 (2)... Dental Special Pattern Elevator #41PG. Used to loosen the tooth from the periodontal ligament and ease extraction. Elevators are designed to make extractions as trauma free as possible by cutting the periodontal ligament while easing the tooth from the socket. The result is less tissue damage that promotes quicker healing and fewer complications. The Premium Instruments Elevator is used by rocking and cutting rather than by lifting and prying the way a conventional elevator is used. Luxating elevators have thin, sharp blades that are used to cut periodontal ligaments. The luxating elevator is used by rocking and cutting vs. an elevator that lifts and pries. Luxating elevators reduce putting pressure on adjacent teeth. One-Piece Stainless Steel Construction Tip will not separate from handle. Provides strength and durability. Unique Handle Shape Creates less force on tooth, reducing chance of tooth fractures
