The Dental Instruments Periotome Insert – 1.6mm Straight is an interchangeable dental extraction instrument designed for controlled access to the periodontal ligament during professional tooth extraction procedures. It is intended for use with a compatible periotome handle and features a straight working profile for direct intraoral access.
Periotome inserts are commonly used by dental professionals to carefully access and separate periodontal ligament fibers surrounding a tooth. This approach can support controlled tooth mobilization and extraction while allowing the clinician to work closely around the tooth structure. Instrument selection and technique should be determined according to the tooth anatomy, clinical requirements, and professional judgment.
This insert features a 1.6mm working width and a straight configuration. The straight profile provides a direct working orientation and can be useful when the clinician requires straightforward access along the periodontal space. It can also serve as a practical component within an interchangeable periotome system alongside angled and curved inserts.
The insert is designed to be fitted into a compatible periotome handle. A secure connection is important for controlled manipulation and appropriate transfer of hand pressure during use. Compatibility should be confirmed according to the manufacturer's specifications before use, especially when combining components from different instrument systems.
Before each procedure, the insert should be inspected for visible damage, deformation, wear, contamination, or other defects. The connection area should also be checked, and the insert should be securely attached to the appropriate handle before clinical use. Careful handling helps protect the working edge and maintain the condition of the instrument.
If designated as reusable, the insert should be cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the dental facility's established infection-control protocol. Specific cleaning and sterilization parameters should always be taken from the applicable manufacturer's instructions.
The 1.6mm Straight Periotome Insert is a practical addition to professional dental extraction instrument systems, providing a straight working option for controlled periodontal ligament access and tooth extraction procedures.
