Description
These instruments are designed to lift and separate the periosteum (the fibrous connective tissue membrane that closely encases the bone) from the bone beneath, typically using an upward force applied along the bone's length.
Periosteal elevators are primarily utilized to elevate complete soft tissue flaps. The tips must be safeguarded and maintained in a sharp condition; otherwise, the flap may become torn. The most frequently utilized varieties include the double-ended Molt P9, as well as Molt 2 and Molt 4.
INDICATION:
They are employed to elevate gingival tissue at the cervical area, which needs to be separated for tooth extractions.
They are used to create a flap in procedures involving periodontal and oral surgery.
