The GDC Root Elevator Cryer – Right Standard (Ea31) is a precision dental tool specifically designed for atraumatic tooth extraction procedures. With its curved, ergonomic handle, the instrument provides optimal grip and control, ensuring better precision during extractions. The right-curved standard tip is carefully crafted to gently engage and elevate the tooth’s roots, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues.
This root elevator is particularly effective for cases where delicate manipulation of the tooth’s roots is required during extraction. Made from high-quality stainless steel, the GDC Root Elevator Cryer – Right Standard is both durable and corrosion-resistant, making it an essential tool for dental professionals.
The Cryer Right model works similarly to a wheel and axle system. It is introduced through the empty socket of multirooted mandibular molars to engage and remove the interseptal bone of either root. This functionality makes it especially useful in complex extractions that require careful handling of the root structure.
Directions To Use
Prepare the Patient:
- Ensure the patient is comfortable and properly positioned in the dental chair.
- Administer local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
Select the Appropriate Elevator:
- Confirm that the GDC Root Elevator Cryer – Right Standard (Ea31) is the appropriate instrument for the tooth extraction.
Inspect the Elevator:
- Examine the elevator for any signs of damage or contamination.
- Ensure the instrument is clean and in good condition before use.
Position the Elevator:
- Hold the elevator in your dominant hand, ensuring a firm and comfortable grip on the handle.
- Approach the patient’s mouth and position the curved, pointed tip of the elevator beneath the gumline, next to the targeted tooth.
Apply Controlled Force:
- Use controlled and gentle force to loosen the tooth from the socket, starting with slight pressure and gradually increasing as needed.
- Apply pressure with a rocking motion, alternating between the buccal (cheek side) and lingual (tongue side) aspects of the tooth.
Monitor Progress:
- Continuously assess the tooth’s mobility and ease of movement.
- If resistance is encountered or the tooth does not loosen, consider additional anesthesia or reassess your technique.
Complete Extraction:
- Once the tooth is sufficiently loosened and mobile, carefully elevate it from the socket using the elevator.
- Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to surrounding tissues.
- Maintain control throughout the extraction to ensure the tooth is removed intact.
Post-Extraction Care:
- Inspect the extraction site for any remaining tooth fragments or debris.
- Provide post-operative instructions to the patient for aftercare and pain management.
Cleaning and Sterilization:
- After use, clean the GDC Root Elevator Cryer – Right Standard (Ea31) thoroughly according to recommended protocols.
- Ensure proper sterilization to prepare the instrument for future use.
