The Uses and Advantages of the Potts Elevator
Dental elevators are used during extraction to loosen the periodontal ligament with minimal trauma or damage to the socket. Choosing the right dental elevator has a direct connection with the quality of patient care and the success of any procedure.

How do Potts Elevators Work?
Potts elevators are designed specifically for the removal of tooth segments and third molars. The Potts elevator design excels where it is difficult to engage the tooth with forceps.
Dental Potts elevators can loosen the periodontal ligament so that root material can be removed with minor trauma, ensuring that the procedure is more comfortable and that patients have less post-operative pain. In addition to improving comfort, choosing the right elevator can improve the healing process.
High-quality stainless-steel Potts elevators are unique with a handle placed at a right angle (T-Bar) to the shaft or shank. This allows for more force to safely loosen fragments and third molars, with less pressure exerted.
When Should Potts Root Elevators Be Used?
Potts root elevators are ideal for procedures where there are root fragments below the gumline, including at the third molar position.
In cases where clinicians experience trouble with traditional elevators designed with straight handles, Potts root elevators will offer better handling and surgical success.
Dental Implant Technologies supplies the best Potts root elevators for clinicians in the United States. Our Potts root elevators are designed and manufactured by Nexus Biomedical.
Key Advantages of Potts Dental Elevators
The advantages of Potts dental elevators are found in both handling and performance. Handling is improved thanks to the offset gripping handle placed at a right angle to the shaft. Performance is improved by the fact that Potts dental elevators allow for more force with less pressure.
The handling improves safety and accuracy when loosening the periodontal ligament for third molar and fragmented extractions. Potts dental elevators can be used along with specialized forceps for the final stage of extraction.
Dental Implant Technologies supplies a range of suitable forceps like the (SKU: NX-RTF1) Diamond Root Tip Forceps by Nexus Biomedical.

Potts Dental Tools Made from Surgical Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is the ideal material for dental instruments. It is hypoallergenic, resists corrosion, and maintains strength and sharpness. Because dental elevators engage with soft and hard tissue, they must be made to the highest standards to ensure durability.
Our Potts dental tools are made from surgical stainless steel. They are offered with five years of warranty coverage for peace of mind. Potts dental tools are reliable so that clinicians will always have suitable options on hand to perform even the most complex extractions.
Stainless steel should be cleaned with a pH-neutral detergent to remove debris and biological materials. Sterilization is performed with typical in-office methods like steam, autoclave, or dry heat. Any standard procedure suited to stainless steel instruments can be applied to Potts dental tools.
Two Types of Potts Elevators for Clinicians
Potts dental tools are available in left or right-side configurations. Surgeons should keep both available in the clinic’s inventory.
Potts elevators have curved heads to ensure access within sockets and at the third molars. Choosing the wrong configuration will result in surgical difficulty and potential injury for the patient.
Our Potts elevators are cost-efficient, so ordering a set of left and right elevators is affordable. Choose from our…
The curved right or left configuration should be selected based on the orientation of the tooth or fragment. In some cases, both configurations may be used in the same procedure.
