Everything Clinicians Need to Know About Apexo Elevators

Tooth extraction is often a straightforward process even for recently trained clinicians. However, complications can arise when performing extraction for root fragments. Without the crown, specialized elevators should be used to aid in surgical success, eliminate complications or excessive trauma, and reduce fatigue.

Clinicians can rely on high-quality 301 Apexo Elevators from Dental Implant Technologies. Learn about the unique design of Apexo Elevators, how they are used, and see what helps our products to stand out from the competition.

What Are Apexo Elevators Used For?

Clinicians can turn to Apexo Elevators when performing extractions for root tips that are broken below the gum line.

Apexo Elevators are lightweight, feature ergonomic round handles, and reduce fatigue while increasing precision. Dental Implant Technologies supplies Apexo Elevators that are used to both loosen and remove dental roots and fragments. Other instruments, like extraction forceps, can be used during the procedure.

Stainless steel Apexo Elevators can both cut the periodontal ligament and remove fragments by elevating root material from sockets.

301 Elevators

At Dental Implant Technologies we offer three unique Apexo Elevators, including the 301 Elevator. The 301 elevator has a straight shank and cutting head.

The 301 Elevator is an Apexo-style instrument with a straight head that can be used to remove fragments, typically in the anterior region, where access is at a convenient angle for the clinician.

The Nexus Biomedical 301 Elevator is made from surgical stainless steel, comes with a five-year warranty, and both loosens the root fragment by severing the periodontal ligament, and elevates it.

301 Elevators are ideal for all cases of root fragment removal when a straight instrument is desired. Our 301 Elevators are ergonomic, durable, and cost-efficient for clinicians.

302 Apexo Elevator – An Alternative to 301 Apexo Elevators

Not all cases will be suited to a straight 301 Apexo Elevator. In many cases, clinicians need access to teeth that are further back in the ridge. This is where curved elevators provide advantages over straight 301 Apexo Elevators.

The 302 Apexo Elevator is a left-side configured elevator made from surgical stainless steel. The curved design allows for easier access at the posterior, or for any case where it would be difficult to access the root fragment with a straight 301 Apexo Elevator.

Clinicians will find the 302 model to have the same high quality as a 301 Apexo Elevator. As an alternative, it’s worth having a 302 model within the clinical inventory for any case where a 301 Apexo wouldn’t be suited.

303 Apexo Elevator – An Alternative to 301 Root Elevators

Another alternative to 301 Root Elevators is the 303 Apexo Elevator. The 303 design is curved in a right-side configuration and is complementary to the 301 Root Elevator. It should be used in any case where access is difficult with a straight or right-oriented elevator.

Like the 301 Root Elevator and the 302 curved model, the 303 Elevator is made from surgical stainless steel, has the same impressive five-year warranty, and is effective at loosening the fragment from the periodontal ligament.

Clinicians can keep 303, 302, and 301 Root Elevators on hand to ensure that there is a solution for every surgical case. With straight 301 Root Elevators and curved 303 and 302 elevators, clinicians will be able to perform fragment extraction no matter where the treatment site is located.

301 Root Elevators and 302 and 303 instruments are all produced to the highest industry standards for quality, reliability, and durability.

What are the Advantages of Apexo 301 Dental Elevators?

Whether considering 301 Dental Elevators or 302 and 303 alternatives, the advantages are shared across the Apexo design.

Apexo 301 Dental Elevators provide clinicians with an efficient, safe, and reliable option to remove fragments from the socket.
Apexo 301 Dental Elevators loosen the periodontal ligament and can be used for elevation without breakage, unlike traditional probes and periotomes.
Clinicians can use the shank (shaft) of Apexo 301 Dental Elevators, as well as 302 and 303 Elevators as a stabilizer by placing the forefinger along it.
Apexo 301 Dental Elevators provide excellent handling thanks to a tapered ergonomic handle that fits comfortably in the palm.
The stainless steel construction is ideal for durability. The head stays sharp and maintains its shape.
301 Dental Elevators can be cleaned and sterilized using the same methods as other stainless steel instruments, ensuring a smooth in-office workflow.

In cases where the tooth is fragmented below the gumline, Apexo 301 Dental Tools, 302, and 303 Elevators can make the chairside process stress-free with positive patient outcomes.

What Forceps Should be Used With a 301 Dental Tool?

When using a 301 Dental Tool or 302 and 303 Apexo Tools, forceps are often needed for complete extraction. Forceps used to grip fragments after loosening the periodontal ligament should be specifically designed for extraction below the gumline. Standard forceps used to grip crowns are inappropriate for root fragment extraction.

Clinicians will find a complete range of dental forceps at Dental Implant Technologies. P5X Atraumatic Forceps (SKU: NX-FP5X) are serrated forceps with narrow gripping ends designed specifically for fragments and root tips. The long and narrow beaks make them the ideal accompaniment to 301 Dental Tools and other Apexo Elevators.
