A dental implant extractor is a specialized tool designed to remove damaged or malfunctioning dental implants from the jawbone. Clinically, it is used when an implant’s abutment or anchorage component breaks or fails, requiring precise retrieval without further harm to surrounding tissues or bone.
These devices are typically single-use, manually operated, and come in one-piece designs with a cylindrical shape and a gripping mechanism at the end. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments and must comply with medical device standards for safety and performance in oral healthcare settings.
