A syndesmotome is a specialized dental surgical instrument used to cut periodontal fibers and detach the alveolodental ligaments during tooth extraction or periodontal procedures. Its scythe-like or knife-like blade allows precise separation of the tooth root from the surrounding bone while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
These devices are typically reusable, made from high-grade stainless steel, and designed for controlled cutting in oral surgery settings. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to medical device standards for safety and performance.
