Reasons to use Luxator® Short Periotome

  • Shorter blade – Attains the correct working postion – even with smaller hands.
  • Atraumatic extractions – The fine tapered blade compresses the alveolar bone and cuts the periodontal ligaments, gently easing the tooth from its socket. Reduced damage to the surrounding tissue results in better anatomy for an implant site.
  • Maximum tactility – The use of highest quality materials gives the instruments outstanding tactility.
  • Wide range of sizes and shapes – The good variety of sizes and shapes enables users to find the ideal instrument for any extraction.

FAQ

Depending on the tooth to loosen a curved periotome might guarantee a better access.

A special sharpening stone is available, suitable for all Luxator instruments from 1mm periotomes to Forte. To sharpen a periotome, place the concave surface of the blade tip on the sharpening stone and make strokes. Lift the blade after each stroke and repeat until the blade is sharp. The stone should always be lubricated with sharpening oil or water to avoid clogging of the surface with debris. For best results, sharpen your Luxator instrument regularly with a Luxator sharpening stone. Sharpen the Luxator instrument after thorough cleaning and before sterilisation.

Luxator Periotomes come in light handles (grey, pale blue or pale yellow) while the Luxator Forte comes in a black handle. The blade also differs.
