Why

Because of the complexity of tooth extractions, it’s vital to ensure clinicians not only successfully remove the tooth but also do so in a way that is ergonomically sound. elvatome® 2.0 provides a comfortable grip and has a specific spade tip that enables clinicians to push the tooth out of its socket rather than pull it out.

The How*

elvatome 2.0 features both palm grip and pen grip options with its TWIST handle to enable the dentist to find the exact purchase point to push and twist the tooth out of its alveolar housing when applying the right amount of pressure along the long axis of the tooth. Added to that, elvatome 2.0 is thicker than the original elvatome, providing more comfort for the clinician using it.
