Periotomes are precision dental instruments designed to facilitate atraumatic tooth extraction by severing the periodontal ligament (PDL) with minimal damage to the surrounding alveolar bone. Featuring thin, sharp blades, periotomes allow clinicians to gently detach the tooth from its socket while preserving bone integrity—an essential factor in implant planning and socket preservation procedures. In modern dentistry, atraumatic extraction techniques are crucial for maintaining soft tissue architecture and alveolar bone height. Periotomes are specifically engineered to slide into the periodontal space, cutting the ligament fibers efficiently without excessive force. This controlled approach reduces trauma, enhances patient comfort, and supports better post-extraction healing. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, periotomes offer durability, precision, and ergonomic handling. Their slim, tapered blades enable easy access to tight interproximal areas, making them ideal for anterior and posterior extractions alike.

A periotome is used to sever the periodontal ligament during tooth extraction to minimize trauma to surrounding bone and soft tissues.
A periotome cuts the ligament fibers with a thin blade, whereas an elevator applies leverage to loosen the tooth.
Yes, they are highly recommended for atraumatic extractions prior to implant placement to preserve bone structure.
Yes, stainless steel periotomes are autoclavable and designed for repeated sterilization.
Straight blades are commonly used for anterior teeth, while angled designs provide better access in posterior regions.
