The Dental Instruments Periotome Insert – 1.6mm Angled is a premium surgical replacement insert developed to support minimally invasive tooth extraction while preserving the integrity of the surrounding periodontal structures. Designed for use with compatible interchangeable periotome handle systems, this precision-crafted insert enables clinicians to carefully sever the periodontal ligament (PDL), reducing extraction trauma and maintaining the alveolar socket for successful implant placement and restorative treatment.

Atraumatic extraction techniques have become the preferred standard in modern implantology, periodontics, prosthodontics, and oral surgery because they help preserve bone volume and soft tissue architecture. Excessive force during conventional extractions may result in bone fractures, socket deformation, and unnecessary tissue damage. The Dental Instruments Periotome Insert – 1.6mm Angled is specifically designed to minimize these complications by precisely separating periodontal ligament fibers before tooth luxation, allowing smoother and more controlled extraction.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this periotome insert offers excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability. The precision-ground blade maintains exceptional sharpness through repeated clinical use, enabling efficient penetration into the periodontal ligament space while minimizing resistance and tissue trauma. Its high-quality construction ensures dependable performance even after frequent sterilization cycles.

The defining feature of this instrument is its 1.6 mm angled blade, which combines a slim working profile with an ergonomically angled configuration. This design provides enhanced access to posterior teeth, interproximal spaces, retained roots, and anatomically challenging areas that may be difficult to reach using straight instruments. The angled blade allows clinicians to maintain a comfortable working position while improving visibility and precision during delicate extraction procedures.

The narrow 1.6 mm blade is especially advantageous when treating teeth with limited periodontal ligament space or when preserving the buccal plate is essential for future implant placement. By minimizing disruption to the surrounding bone and gingival tissues, the instrument promotes improved postoperative healing and supports procedures such as immediate implant placement, socket preservation, ridge preservation, and guided bone regeneration (GBR).

The Dental Instruments Periotome Insert – 1.6mm Angled is widely used during implant surgery, periodontal procedures, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontic extractions, retained root removal, prosthodontic treatment planning, and routine dental extractions requiring minimally invasive techniques. Its ergonomic angled design improves maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue while enhancing procedural efficiency.

Designed for repeated professional use, the insert is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization protocols. The premium stainless steel construction retains its cutting performance, structural integrity, and corrosion resistance through numerous sterilization cycles. The smooth satin surgical finish facilitates thorough cleaning, minimizes debris retention, and supports strict infection control standards in dental clinics, hospitals, and oral surgery centers.

The Dental Instruments Periotome Insert – 1.6mm Angled is trusted by implantologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, orthodontists, and general dentists seeking dependable surgical instruments for atraumatic extraction. Combining precision engineering, ergonomic functionality, and durable materials, this replacement insert provides outstanding performance while preserving the natural anatomy essential for successful restorative dentistry.
