How to use Xpanders™

Xpanders™ are the most atraumatic elevators devised to date - Designed specifically for bone-preserving, atraumatic tooth extractions.

Just a small amount of penetration into the PDL space is all that is needed for maximum lateral tooth movement. The more movement you can get with a dental elevator prior to the use of forceps, the less likely root tips will break off. These intra-ligamental elevators are an absolute necessity in any modern dental office.

The double-pronged, diamond grip action allows for a stable two point contact between the crest of bone and the neck of the tooth.  With simple twisting, one point locks onto the bone, while the other point pushes the tooth laterally, causing bucco-lingual socket expansion and superior pre-forceps loosening. Get the full power of 360 degree socket expansion with Xpanders™. 

Ideal for:

• Dentists looking to reduce extraction time
• Atraumatic extractions prior to immediate implant placement
• Socket preservation cases where maintaining bone integrity is a priority
  
• Broken-down or compromised teeth with thin roots or curved roots
• Anterior and posterior teeth — 4 instruments cover the full mouth
