The present invention relates to a novel combination device for tooth extraction with Snap-On handle and interchangeable or retractable working ends. More specifically, a four in one device for increasing movement of a tooth in the jaw. The invention is designed to create space between bone and root; elevate roots for easy extraction.
Extraction is the optimal treatment option when treating tooth that is non-restorable or impossible to save with predictable results due to depth of decay, severe bone loss, fracture below gum or extensive and significant infection. In other words, removal of tooth is mandatory for several reasons including deep subgingival or crestal decay, gross decay, roots, infections, tooth fractures, severe periodontal disease, dental abscesses, mobile or loose teeth and many more.
Traditional dental extraction elevators usually take substantial space on a bracket table during dental tooth extraction procedures. Due to that factor, dental provider usually lacks the sufficient area for other necessary equipment. Sometimes dental assistant needs to bring different devices during a procedure, creating delays and exposure to contamination during dental extraction. Also, dental cabinets usually labeled to make easier instrument retrieval. Also, when multiple instruments are used for the same procedure more dental cabinets are needed and that creates space restriction. Another challenge for traditional dental extraction; sterilization must be working constantly to sterilize multitude of instruments. Since these bulky instruments take up so much space a need to get duplicate of same device makes it nearly impossible unless office space is increased. Thus, sterilization is working double due to those drawbacks.
The present invention solves those problems. The novel devices are designed to improve dental extraction procedure and make it quicker. The tools are interchangeable therefore reduced movement. No unnecessary movement to find other instrument or change instrument while operating on a patient, That in turn will improve dental practitioner's concentration and therefore the result or outcome of treatment for a patient.
The present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiments illustrated by figures or description below. The invention is a four in one interchangeable dental elevator extraction kit. The device provides a new and improved method of increasing movement and extraction of a tooth in a jaw. The novel dental tooth extraction device is composed of a single handle, single hollow metal cylinder with two double ended bits. One double ended bit contains two different straight elevators on opposite sides. The Second double ended bit contains two root tip picks on opposite ends. Each double bit is designed with a different tip. The invention comprises of two double end, four elevator tips. A 301 Apexo Elevator (2.5 mm tip or working end), 343 straight elevator (4 mm), #63 spade elevator on one end and #1 Heidbrink straight root tip on the other end.
Thus, one device with two interchangeable double ended bits will replace four separate tooth extraction elevators. That will make the process of dental extraction quicker; because there is no need to find other instrument just flip and insert or interchange bits,
The invention is easy to assemble and disassemble. To assemble simply, insert a bit on each side of the hollow metal cylinder and plug into the handle and to disassemble simply reverse the process. One shaft end is designed to contain two different elevator tips. The double tip bit can be flipped over for use; thereby creating a one device connecting four dental tools seamlessly. This method saves time, improves practitioner concentration, eliminates lengthy hours of sterilization and need for spacious cabinets to maintain all instruments. The invention is lightweight and compact.
It should be noted; the preceding description is merely given as an illustration; and is not limiting of the invention. There are possibilities of various modifications; without departing from the spirit of the invention.
