A single-ended periotome for atraumatic extraction work. The thin, sharp blade is eased down the periodontal ligament space to release the tooth attachment before forceps are applied, so less force is needed and more of the surrounding bone is preserved. Single-ended design for direct, controlled blade access Releases the periodontal ligament before forceps use AISI 304 stainless handle with hardened Japanese-standard J2 working end Fully autoclavable for repeated clinical use FAQsWhat is a periotome used for?It is worked into the space between the tooth root and the bone to cut the periodontal ligament, loosening the tooth before extraction and helping keep the socket walls intact for healing or a future implant.Should I choose single-ended or double-ended?A single-ended periotome gives a longer, more direct grip and is often preferred for straightforward anterior and premolar cases, while double-ended versions cover more angles in one instrument. Many clinics keep both.What material is this instrument made from?The handle is corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel and the working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, which holds a fine edge through repeated autoclave cycles.Used alongside our Luxator periotomes, root elevators and extraction forceps.Manufactured by InstruDental, UK specialists in dental hand instruments.
