Curved Luxating Elevator, 2.5mm Tip

Curved Luxating Elevator, 2.5mm Tip is a luxating elevator, an instrument that severs the periodontal ligament before a tooth is elevated, rather than relying purely on prying force the way a conventional elevator does.

The 2.5mm tip is consistent across every shape in this family, sized to slide into the PDL space without the bulk of a wider blade. The curved geometry is shaped specifically for the posterior regions, working from mesial of molars to mesial of molars in both the upper and lower arches, following the natural contour of the tooth root where a straight approach is restricted. Working the tip along the accessible surface of the root with steady, controlled pressure cuts the ligament fibers section by section, loosening the tooth before elevation or forceps removal takes over.

Because the ligament is already severed, meaningfully less leverage force is needed to complete the extraction, which helps preserve the surrounding alveolar bone and reduces the risk of root fracture during removal. Keeping the tip width fixed across all four shapes in the family means a clinician switching between straight, curved, and angled access during the same procedure isn’t also adjusting for a different blade width each time.

This pattern is generally used as one piece in the four-instrument Luxating Elevator set, since covering every arch position and root angle takes more than a single shape. General dentists and oral surgeons keep it on the tray for atraumatic extraction technique where preserving the socket walls is the priority. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
