Spade Luxator Distal Angle

Spade Luxator Distal Angle is a spade-bladed luxation instrument, built with a flatter and wider working end than the narrower Luxator periotome line, used to sever the periodontal ligament before a tooth is elevated or removed with forceps.

The distal angle angulation is shaped specifically for the distal and lingual aspects of maxillary premolars, molars, and lingual root tips, where standard straight or mildly angled instruments cannot reach properly. The spade blade inserts at the back of the tooth into the periodontal ligament space, and steady apical pressure along the blade cuts the PDL fibers holding the tooth in place, working around the accessible surface of the root rather than prying against it the way a standard elevator would.

Severing the ligament before elevation reduces the force needed at every later stage of the extraction, which lowers the risk of root fracture and damage to the surrounding bone and soft tissue, particularly around the thin buccal plate. This pattern is generally reached for alongside the other angulations in the Spade Luxator family, since covering both arches and multiple approach angles takes more than one blade shape.

Oral surgeons and general dentists managing routine and surgical extractions keep this pattern on the tray specifically for the arch position and angle of access it is built for, rather than trying to make a single straight instrument work every case. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
