Atraumatic Extraction Made Easy

Modern dentistry increasingly focuses on minimally invasive techniques, particularly when immediate implant placement follows extraction. Preserving both hard and soft tissue is critical for achieving optimal healing outcomes and long-term implant success. The Root Tip Elevator - X-Tool Set is engineered specifically to support these goals, enabling clinicians to remove teeth while minimizing trauma to the surrounding bone and soft tissue structures.

Key Features

  • Atraumatic Extraction: The X-Tool enables tooth removal while minimizing damage to surrounding bone and soft tissue, helping preserve the socket for better healing and implant success.
  • Controlled Force Application: Its design allows for direct, controlled transmission of force, reducing the risk of tooth or root fractures and limiting stress on surrounding anatomical structures.
  • Ergonomic Design: The handle provides a secure grip, improving control and reducing the risk of slippage during procedures.
  • Color-Coded System: Color coding allows for quick identification and a smoother workflow during surgery.
  • Versatility: Sets include both universal and tooth-specific instruments, making them adaptable to a wide range of clinical situations.

The Root Tip Elevator - X-Tool Set is available individually or as a complete set, offering a modern and efficient solution for today's surgical workflows. For full product specifications and instrument details, refer to the official Brochure.

Clinical Use

X-Tool sets are used for atraumatic extraction: the instruments luxate teeth and roots while minimizing damage to the surrounding bone and soft tissue, which preserves the socket where immediate implant placement follows the extraction.

Care and Reconditioning

Clean, disinfect and sterilize these instruments between patients following the manufacturer’s validated reprocessing instructions and the symbols on each product’s packaging.
