Dental elevators are manual, hand-held surgical tools designed specifically for tooth or root extraction. By acting as a lever between the gum tissue and tooth surface, they help loosen the surrounding structures to facilitate removal, often without additional instruments.
These reusable devices come in various blade shapes and sizes to accommodate different dental anatomies. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically classified as surgical instruments and subject to general medical device compliance standards.
