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.
Frequently Asked Questions
The GDC Periosteal Elevator Large is used to reflect and retract gingival and mucoperiosteal tissues during oral surgical procedures. Its larger working end provides improved leverage and broader tissue coverage, making it ideal for flap elevation in periodontal and surgical cases.
This instrument is commonly used in flap surgeries, impacted tooth extractions, bone grafting procedures, implant surgeries, and cyst enucleations where wider tissue reflection is required.
The GDC periosteal elevator is manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel, offering excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance over repeated use.
Yes. The GDC Periosteal Elevator Large is fully autoclavable and designed to withstand routine high-temperature sterilization cycles without warping or loss of function.
Yes. Maintaining both small and large periosteal elevators allows clinicians to manage delicate anterior areas as well as broader posterior or surgical flap elevations effectively.
Commonly paired instruments include GDC Bone Rongeurs, GDC Periotomes, and other GDC Elevators, which together support comprehensive and atraumatic extraction and oral surgical workflows.
