Description
Hu-Friedy Single-Ended Periotomes are precision surgical instruments designed to support atraumatic tooth extraction through controlled severing of the periodontal ligament (PDL). By limiting mechanical force during ligament release, these instruments are commonly used in techniques that prioritize preservation of surrounding bone and soft tissue—an important consideration in socket management and implant-oriented workflows.
This group focuses exclusively on single-ended periotomes, offering dedicated, anatomy-specific working ends for clinicians who prefer maximum control, visibility, and directional precision during ligament release.
Precision Through Focused Design
Single-ended periotomes are selected when control and accuracy take priority. With one working end per instrument, clinicians can apply deliberate, directional cutting forces along the root surface without compromise. This focused design supports careful progression around the tooth and clear tactile feedback throughout the procedure.
Anterior and Posterior Configurations
Anterior Single-Ended Periotomes (PT3 & PT4)
Anterior single-ended periotomes are intended for incisors and canines, where access is limited and anatomy is delicate. Narrow blade profiles support entry into tight interproximal spaces, while straight and angled designs allow clinicians to follow the natural contour of anterior roots.
Posterior Single-Ended Periotomes (PT5 & PT6)
Posterior single-ended periotomes are designed for premolars and molars, with blade geometries adapted for posterior access. Left- and right-oriented designs support controlled ligament release in areas where visibility and angulation are more challenging.
Clinical Use Considerations
Single-ended periotomes are cutting instruments, not elevators. They are intended to be used with controlled, circumferential cutting motions along the root surface to progressively sever PDL fibers. Once adequate ligament release is achieved, clinicians commonly transition to luxating or elevating instruments to complete the extraction.
Hu-Friedy Single-Ended Periotomes are often chosen as the initial instrument when deliberate control and anatomy-specific access are required. Used early in the extraction sequence, they support a staged approach that progresses from ligament release to luxation and elevation using complementary instruments.
