Description
The mucoperiosteum should be raised and retracted during minor or major mouth surgery.
The primary function of periosteal elevators is to raise full-thickness soft tissue flaps.
One end of the double-ended instrument is blunted and rounded, while the other end is sharply pointed.Spoon-shaped is the blunt end.
The spoon-shaped end is utilized to lift the gingival tissue in the cervical region so that it can be separated for tooth extraction.
Because bone serves as a fulcrum, it prevents the mucoperiosteum from being crushed by reflecting it away from the bone.
Dental papillae are reflected by the Sharp Pointed End.
Soft tissues can be elevated or reflected in three ways:
When prying, the pointed end is used to raise the flap.used most often to raise the dental papilla between teeth.
ush Stroke: To remove the periosteum from the bone, push the broad end under the flap.
If not utilized cautiously, pull strokes have a tendency to damage tissue.
