Waldent Periotome -Thin sharp blades used to facilitate the removal of teeth with minimal damage to the surrounding alveolar bone by severing the periodontal ligament.
May be used wherever an extraction is indicated,but are particularly important when considering the placement of a dental implant.
The Periotome is highly recommended for immediate implant placement cases. The blade is used to sever the gingival fibres and periodontal ligament.
Once a tooth is removed the Periotome can be used to mobilise the soft tissue.
Straight blades for anterior teeth and premolars. Angled blade for posterior teeth.
