API Root Elevators Set of 13

API Root Elevators – Set of 13

API Root Elevators are precision-crafted oral surgery instruments designed to support tissue-preserving tooth and root extractions. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, these elevators provide excellent strength, sharpness, and corrosion resistance for consistent surgical performance.

Root elevators play a critical role in atraumatic extractions, especially in implantology, where preservation of bone and surrounding tissues helps reduce the need for complex bone augmentation procedures.

Design & Build Features

• Made from high-quality stainless steel
• Sharp working ends for efficient and controlled elevation
• Corrosion resistant and rust free (passivated)
• Autoclavable for routine clinical sterilization
• Designed for tissue-preserving extractions

Clinical Applications

• Atraumatic extraction of teeth and retained roots
• Loosening periodontal ligament and surrounding tissues
• Removal of fractured root fragments
• Elevation of mucoperiosteal flaps
• Bone preservation during oral surgical procedures

Types & Uses of Elevators

• Flohr Left: Used as a lever during extraction of teeth or retained roots
• Flohr Straight Pointed: Convex side toward bone, concave side toward root with fine tapered end
• Flohr Right: Lever-type elevator for loosening surrounding tissues
• Cryer Left: Works on wheel-and-axle principle for multirooted mandibular molars
• Cryer Right: Used for engaging and removing interseptal bone
• Coleman Straight Serrated: Serrated tip for extraction of root fragments
• Periosteal Molt No. 9: Used for elevation of mucoperiosteal flap
• Coupland: Flat-ended elevator with convex and concave sides, similar to straight elevator
• Warwick James Straight: Wedged with slight wrist twist; flat handle reduces bone stress
• Warwick James Right: Designed to reduce risk of bone fracture
• Warwick James Left: Provides controlled wedging with minimal force
