• Ideally used for retracting & elevating mucoperiosteum during minor or major oral surgery
  Periosteal Elevators are mainly used to lift full thickness soft tissue flaps.
  

• Double – Ended Instrument with one rounded , blunted end & other end is sharp pointed.
• Blunt end is Spoon – Shaped.
  
• Spoon Shaped End is used to raise gingival tissue at cervical region which is to be detached for the extraction of the tooth.
  
• Reflects the mucoperiosteum away from the bone to prevent it being crushed – as bone is used as fulcrum.
• Sharp Pointed End is used to reflect dental papillae.
  

•  Three ways to elevate / reflect soft tissues are :
  

• Pointed end is used in prying motion for elevation of flap.Usually use for elevation of dental papilla between teeth.
  
• ush Stroke – Broad end is pushed under flap to separate periosteum from bone.
  
• Pull Stroke – tends to tear tissue if not used carefully.

An elevator should be positioned such that the ventral surface of the tip contacts a hard point(s) on the tooth particle being extracted, while the dorsal surface of the elevator working end
contacts a hard intra-oral point(s), such that if a force of a specific magnitude and direction is applied to the tooth particle at the ventral contact point of the elevator tip,
the tooth particle will move progressively
