Overview
  • Elevators for extracting curved rooted teeth (canine teeth and incisors)
  • The curved tips are designed to follow the concave and convex curvatures of the roots, helping to prevent breaking the roots
  • Notched elevators have a V ground into the tip, which helps guide them into the socket and cut the periodontal ligament
  • This prevents it slipping out and causing damage to the gingival tissue
