<p>R & L 3mm Anglevators are the
workhorses of your kit, they are used in every extraction procedure and
in any situation, a true Swiss Army Knife of oral surgery.</p>
<p>What Is the Anglevator:</p>
<p>The Anglevator™
is a luxating tool that  combines six major dental hand tools used in
extractions: 1. peritome 2. luxator 3. crane pick 4. chisel 5. elevator
and 6. proximator all in one tool which makes extractions easier, less
painful and most importantly Atraumatic!</p>
<p>All of the Anglevators are universal instruments, they can be used on
every extraction.  They are securely wedged between the root and bone
in the PDL space, then with twisting/rotation movements you loosen the
root.</p>
<p>How to Use the Anglevator:</p>
<p>To start getting comfortable with the Anglevator, place the point of
the angled blade into the MESIAL BUCCAL, like we learned with elevators,
just in a more apical direction.  Work the blade as deep as possible
then rotate/twist, like an elevator.</p>
<p>The main objective is to penetrate as deep as possible in the PDL
space, wedge securely between the root and bone then wiggle the tooth
loose.</p>
<p>Anglevator Maintenance:</p>
<p>You must maintain your instruments.  Keep the edge sharp with pink or
blue rubber wheels over sharpening stones. The frequency of usage will
depend on how often to sharpen these instruments.  The sharper you keep
your blade the more efficient your instrument will be. </p>
