Dental Apical Root Tip Elevator DEL # 3 Dental Instruments

A Dental Apical Root Tip Elevator DEL # 3 is a specialized dental instrument used for the removal of root tips or fragments during a tooth extraction procedure. The "DEL # 3" likely refers to a specific design or model number of the instrument, possibly denoting the manufacturer, a particular size, or shape of the elevator. Key Features: Purpose : The primary function of an apical root tip elevator is to assist in extracting root tips that remain in the socket after a tooth extraction. The roots may break off due to the surrounding bone's resistance or the condition of the tooth. Design : Typically, the tip is thin and tapered, designed to be inserted into the socket to gently dislodge or lift out root fragments. The instrument has a long handle, and its working end is precisely shaped to avoid damaging the surrounding tissues. Material : These instruments are usually made of stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
