3 Tufts

Design and Structure:

• Blade: The 3 Tufts Dental Elevator features a robust, slightly curved blade designed to fit into the periodontal ligament space between the tooth and bone.
• Blade Size: The blade size is optimized for effective elevation of teeth, often larger than other elevators for increased leverage.
• Handle: The handle is ergonomically designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip, ensuring maximum control and reducing hand fatigue during use. The handle often has a textured surface for enhanced grip.
• Shank: The shank connects the handle to the blade and is typically designed to withstand the forces applied during tooth extraction.

Material:

• Stainless Steel: Made from high-quality, surgical-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and the ability to withstand repeated sterilization.

Function:

• Tooth Elevation: Primarily used to elevate and loosen teeth prior to extraction by severing the periodontal ligament and expanding the socket.
• Leverage: Provides leverage to facilitate the extraction process, reducing the need for excessive force and minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
