Why do Anglevators are recommended?
Anglevators are recommended rather than Peritome, Luxator, Crane Pick, Elevator, and Proximator because they make the extraction process less painful for the patient and more time-efficient for the dentist.
Anglevators are more reliable, adaptable, and thin enough at the tip to fit under the tooth below the gum line. They are also strong enough to elevate it without breaking.
As a professional dentist, you will find these to be the surgical instruments that meet the diversified tooth extraction requirements based on previous experience. Studies show that Anglevators are much more effective when dealing with larger bone defects.
