Sklar Apical Elevator, Model 301
A dental elevator with a 2.7mm tip used to remove root tips during extraction, offered in models 301 through 304. It is stocked by hospitals and clinics performing this type of procedure.
The Sklar Apical Elevator is a dental oral surgery instrument used to improve and remove retained root tips or apical fragments from the alveolar bone during tooth extraction, particularly when a root fractures during removal and a portion remains below the gum line. 7mm tip is fine enough to work within the narrow socket space left after root fracture, allowing the dentist or oral surgeon to loosen and lift the fragment without excessive trauma to the surrounding bone.
This listing spans five variants across models #301 through #304, giving the practitioner a choice of tip angle or shape within the Apical Elevator family to suit the specific access angle and root position encountered during a given extraction. Dental and oral surgery practices performing regular extractions typically keep more than one model from this range available, since root fracture and retained apical fragments are a common enough occurrence that a choice of elevator angle improves the practitioner's ability to retrieve the fragment cleanly.
