Clinical Use

The instruments in this collection cover the stages of a surgical extraction and flap procedure: desmotomes and luxators to sever the periodontal ligament and luxate the tooth, root and root-tip elevators to lift roots and fragments from the socket, periosteal elevators and raspatories to reflect the flap and manage soft tissue over bone, and sinus elevators for sinus floor elevation in implant surgery.

Care and Reconditioning

Clean and sterilize elevators and periosteals between patients following the manufacturer instructions and the symbols on each product package, and inspect working tips for wear, bending or nicks before reuse. Our Surgical Instrument Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the general workflow for Helmut Zepf surgical instruments, and worn instruments can go to our sharpening and reconditioning service.

FAQ

Why choose Helmut Zepf Dental Elevators?

How do I choose the right item from this collection?

Every product page details the exact specification, reference number, and application; for cross-brand references and terminology, see our Surgical Instrument Comparison Chart and Surgical Instrument Glossary — and our experts are a call away at (917) 480-2682 ext 101.

What's the difference between an elevator, a periosteal, and a raspatory?

A tooth/root elevator luxates and lifts a tooth or root fragment from its socket; a periosteal elevator reflects the periosteum and soft tissue off bone to raise a surgical flap; a raspatory does similar periosteal-stripping work and is often used interchangeably with periosteal elevators in flap and bone-management procedures.

How should these instruments be reprocessed?

Follow the manufacturer's validated reprocessing instructions and the symbols on each product's packaging; our reprocessing guide covers the general workflow.

Where are these instruments made?

The instruments in this collection are manufactured by Helmut Zepf Medizintechnik in Seitingen-Oberflacht, Germany — precision dental and surgical instruments since 1921 — and sold in the U.S. by Deutsche Dental Technologien, shipping fast from our US warehouse.
