With the ligament released, the tooth can be lifted out gently instead of levered against the socket, which preserves the buccal bone plate and gum architecture. That matters most when an immediate implant or ridge preservation is planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Periotome Changed Extraction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most of dentistry’s history, teeth were removed with elevators and forceps that levered the tooth against the surrounding bone. That works, but the force goes into the socket walls, and the thin buccal plate is often the first thing to give. The periotome turned the order around: instead of prying first, a very thin blade is worked down the periodontal ligament space to cut the fibers that hold the tooth, so it can be delivered with far less force. As immediate implant placement and ridge preservation became routine, keeping the buccal bone intact mattered more, and periotomes became a standard part of atraumatic extraction. Luxators work on a similar principle with wider blades; our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/dental-innovations-blog-by-deutsche-dental-technologien\/periotome-vs-luxator-vs-elevator-guide\"\u003ePeriotome vs Luxator vs Elevator guide\u003c\/a\u003e explains the difference. Helmut Zepf’s range covers both classic periodontic periotomes with interchangeable P1 to P4 blades and the FLEX-EX Power periotome, whose flexible blade combines the work of a periotome, an elevator and an X-Tool in one instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore an extraction, the periotome blade is inserted into the sulcus and worked along the root to sever the periodontal ligament fibers, ahead of any elevator or forceps. This preserves the buccal bone plate and the gingival architecture, which is why periotomes are used ahead of immediate implant placement, immediate dentoalveolar restoration (IDR) and socket or ridge preservation, and in thin biotypes. The angled P3 and P4 blades and the left and right bent Power periotomes reach the interproximal surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and Reconditioning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean, disinfect and sterilize periotomes between patients following Helmut Zepf’s instructions and the symbols on the product package, and inspect the thin blades for bending or dulling before each use; on the interchangeable-insert versions, a worn blade is replaced by swapping the insert.
