Description
General Features of Hylin Root Elevators set:
• Ergonomic handle: Ribbed and contoured for grip and comfort.
• Material: High-quality surgical stainless steel – durable and autoclavable.
• Functionality: Used to sever the periodontal ligament and gently elevate the tooth to loosen it prior to extraction.
Clinical Tip:
When working on upper molars, especially those near the maxillary sinus, use curved Hylin elevators (Left or Right) to minimize upward force and reduce the risk of pushing roots into the sinus.
General Guidelines
• Always use elevators gently to avoid excessive pressure that can fracture alveolar bone.
For Hylin STR:
• Use for straight root elevation, especially in single-rooted teeth.
• Effective when there’s clear vertical access.
• Insert between bone and root surface, then rotate to displace the root.
For Hylin Left/Right:
• Insert on the appropriate side of the tooth, matching the curve to the root direction.
• Use when angulation prevents straight elevator access.
• Great for posterior molars with divergent or curved roots.
• Use with rotational and lateral movements to sever the periodontal ligament fiber
