Howarth Elevator Dental Surgical Instrument is a professional oral surgery instrument developed for oral surgeons, dentists, and dental specialists who require precise tissue preservation and controlled tooth elevation during extraction procedures.

The instrument is specifically designed to sever periodontal ligament fibers, mobilize teeth, and elevate retained roots or root fragments from the alveolar socket before forceps extraction. Its slender, carefully contoured working end allows clinicians to access confined spaces while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

The fine, curved blade design facilitates controlled insertion into the periodontal ligament space, enabling efficient luxation and gradual expansion of the alveolar socket. The working end provides effective leverage while supporting atraumatic extraction techniques and preserving surrounding bone structures.

The ergonomic handle enhances grip security and tactile feedback, allowing clinicians to maintain precise control during surgical procedures. Its balanced construction improves maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue during extended treatments.

Common clinical applications include:

• Tooth Luxation Prior to Extraction
• Elevation of Retained Roots
• Removal of Root Fragments
• Atraumatic Tooth Extraction
• Periodontal Ligament Separation
• Surgical Extraction Procedures
• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• Preservation of Alveolar Bone
• Third Molar Procedures
• General Dental Extractions

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, Howarth Elevator Dental Surgical Instrument offers exceptional corrosion resistance, structural integrity, and long-term durability. High-quality construction ensures dependable performance through repeated sterilization cycles and continuous professional use.

Precision manufacturing guarantees accurate blade geometry, smooth surface finishing, and reliable leverage during clinical procedures. The slender working end provides enhanced access to difficult-to-reach areas and supports efficient surgical workflows.

The satin low-glare finish minimizes reflections under operatory lighting conditions while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance. Smooth surfaces contribute to a professional appearance and extended instrument lifespan.

Widely utilized in oral surgery clinics, dental practices, educational institutions, and specialty treatment centers, Howarth Elevator Dental Surgical Instrument is considered an essential instrument for controlled tooth elevation and atraumatic extraction procedures.

Fully reusable and autoclavable, this instrument is designed to provide dependable long-term performance, precision, and durability in demanding clinical environments.
