- Setting: Not applicable.
Indications
- Extraction of posterior teeth.
- Situations requiring minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
- Cases where preservation of alveolar bone is critical.
Instructions for Use
- Identify the tooth to be extracted and assess surrounding structures.
- Insert the periotome between the tooth and the alveolar bone.
- Gently apply pressure to sever the periodontal ligament.
- Continue to work around the tooth until it is sufficiently loosened for extraction.
- Remove the tooth using appropriate extraction forceps.
Summary
The Periotome, Posterior, BlackLine is an essential tool for dental professionals focused on efficient tooth extractions with minimal impact on surrounding tissues. Its design promotes precision and enhances surgical outcomes, making it suitable for various extraction scenarios.
