Cryer elevators are a type of dental instrument used in oral surgery and dentistry, specifically for tooth extraction procedures. These elevators are named after their inventor, Dr. Cryer. They are designed to aid in the luxation or loosening of teeth from their sockets prior to extraction.
Cryer elevators have a distinctive design with a curved, narrow, and pointed tip. The curvature of the tip allows for precise placement and controlled elevation of the tooth, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Dentists use Cryer elevators by inserting the tip into the periodontal ligament space around the tooth and applying controlled pressure to gently loosen it from the socket. This process facilitates easier and less traumatic tooth extraction.
