Dental Elevator And Retractor

Dental Elevator and Retractor are two types of instruments used in dental procedures.

A dental elevator is a handheld instrument with a sharp, curved tip that is used to loosen and elevate teeth from the socket during tooth extraction. It helps in separating the tooth from the surrounding tissues and bone, making the extraction process easier and less traumatic for the patient.

A dental retractor, on the other hand, is a handheld instrument used to hold back soft tissues, such as the cheeks or tongue, during dental procedures. It helps to provide better visibility and access to the treatment area, allowing the dentist to work more effectively.

Both dental elevator and retractor are essential tools in dental practices and are commonly found in the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies. These supplies are used by dental professionals to perform various dental procedures and ensure proper oral health care for patients.
