Product Description

This is the standard human elevator.

Elevators are a stocky strong blade used to extract loose teeth using adjacent sound teeth that are not usually meant to go below the gumline. They are more useful in humans where crown/root ratio is closer to 50:50 and roots are stronger. In animals root ration is closer to 30:70 and roots taper toward the apex. They will fracture if the peridontal ligament fibres are not loosened or cut before forceps are applied or if the instrument is torqued.
