Periotomes

Periotomes are specialized dental instruments used in periodontal procedures, particularly for atraumatic tooth extraction and implantology. They are designed to sever the periodontal ligament and minimize trauma to surrounding tissues, preserving bone integrity.

Types of Periotomes:

Straight Periotomes: Used for anterior teeth and accessible areas.
Curved Periotomes: Designed for posterior teeth and hard-to-reach areas.
Luxating Periotomes: Combine cutting and lifting actions to gently loosen teeth.
Micro Periotomes: Smaller, precision instruments for delicate procedures or narrow spaces.

These instruments are essential for minimally invasive extractions and maintaining alveolar bone structure.
