GDC Periosteal Elevator Molt-9 Large – 1 (P9)

GDC Periosteal Elevator Molt-9 Large – 1 (P9)

Used to elevate and detach the periosteum (membrane of fibrous connective tissue tightly surrounding bone) from the underlying bone by a pushing action usually applied along the longitudinal axis of the bone.

Periosteal elevators are mainly used to lift full-thickness soft tissue flaps. The tips require protection and need to be kept very sharp otherwise shredding of the flap can happen. The most common types in use are double-ended Molt P9 but also Molt 2 and Molt 4.

INDICATION:

• Use to raise gingival tissue at the cervical region which is to be detached for the extraction of teeth.
• To raise the flap during periodontal and oral surgery.
