The Cryer Root Elevator #45 with a Right Angle Tip is a specialized dental instrument commonly used in tooth extraction procedures. Here are the details about this instrument:

• Function: The Cryer Root Elevator is primarily used for the extraction of teeth by loosening the tooth from its socket and separating it from the surrounding ligaments and tissues. It is often used in cases where the tooth is broken, or the root is retained in the socket after the crown has been removed.

• Design:

  • Right Angle Tip: This feature refers to the instrument’s blade, which is angled at 90 degrees from the handle, making it useful for accessing the tooth root in difficult-to-reach areas.
  • 6" Length: This provides enough leverage for efficient root elevation during extractions.

• Blade Type: The Cryer root elevator typically has a curved, sharp blade designed to grip and lift the root, making it easier to remove the remaining part of the tooth from the alveolar bone.

• Material: Most Cryer Elevators are made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
