The widespread use of elevators to reduce trauma during extraction has led DENTSPLY Ash® Instruments to introduce a range of luxation instruments.
The tips of Ash® luxation instruments are finely tapered and offer a combination of the characteristics of a periotome and an elevator. The sharp tips allow for more efficient cutting of the periodontal ligament and the tapering shaft offers controlled expansion of the bony socket.
The Ash® Luxation Kit comprises four luxation instruments to help improve extraction procedures: a straight blade and a curved blade in two different widths, a Ceramicolor® Heidebrink apical elevator, a sharpening stone and a honing rod to keep the instruments in perfect condition.
