Tooth extraction is a frequent procedure performed daily in many dental offices. It consists in removing or pulling out a tooth that can't be restored. Nonetheless, it is also done in orthodontic treatments when there is not enough room to properly align the teeth.
Tooth extraction involves using several tools and equipment. Moreover, depending on the complexity of the case and the type of tooth extraction performed, the dentist might need to use additional tools.
In most cases, the teeth are extracted using dental forceps. However, the dentist usually needs to use a dental elevator before attempting to extract the tooth with forceps.
A dental elevator is a simple tool that dentists use during tooth extractions. They are long handheld tools that look similar to a screwdriver.
The dental elevator is used to move the tooth and dislodge it from the bone. Therefore, it loosens the tooth and leaves it ready to be extracted with dental forceps.
Also, attempting to extract a tooth without being properly luxated with a dental elevator can make the procedure harder. Also, it increases the risk of fracturing the tooth's crown or the alveolar bone.
These tools are made of stainless steel, which makes them sturdy and resistant. Therefore, they won't break while performing a tooth extraction. This allows the dentist to apply as much force as necessary to luxate the tooth.
Also, they can be sterilized to prevent contamination and any cross-infection among patients.
● Pagdumala:
The handle is the part where the dentist holds the elevator.
It can have different shapes, such as rounded, smooth, octagonal, or serrated. Nonetheless, the shape of the handle doesn't affect the treatment. Therefore, the dentist can choose them based solely on personal preferences.
The handle is designed to be ergonomic. It allows the dentist to safely apply pressure and force without hurting the hand. It also provides stability while being used.
● Blade:
The blade is the active element of the elevator. It is the portion that contacts the tooth and acts as a lever. This element is located at the frontal end of the tool.
The elevator's blade comes in different shapes and angles to work in multiple circumstances.
● Gipadala:
The shank is a lengthy element that connects the handle to the blade. It is thinner than the handle. Nonetheless, it is highly resistant.
The shank usually has a minor depression that acts as a finger rest. This allows the dentist to place the index finger while holding and using the instrument. This helps to apply more force while improving control and stability.
The dentist needs to rest the elevator on the interdental bone. Afterward, the dentist just needs to find a good anchoring point to twist the elevator. Therefore, acting as a lever that pulls the tooth out.
