Luxators - gentle and precise luxation during tooth extraction
Luxators from ErgoDenta are thinly ground instruments used in tooth extraction to gently cut the periodontal ligament and detach the tooth from the jawbone. By sliding the blade between the tooth root and alveolar bone, the luxator allows for an atraumatic luxation with minimal trauma and preservation of bone structure - crucial in implant candidacy and direct implant treatments
Use and benefits of Luxators
The blade is fine and tapered, making it easy to access tight spaces and effectively separate the ligament without force.
The mode of operation involves rotation, gentle twisting and apical pressure, rather than levering; this reduces the risk of injury and promotes faster healing
Maintains the alveolar anatomy of the tooth, facilitating later implant placement and improving post-operative healing and reducing pain and swelling
ErgoLite instruments are affordable lightweight instruments (11.5 mm, 14 grams)
