GDC Periosteal Elevator Molt-9 Small - 1 (P9s)
The GDC Periosteal Elevator Molt-9 Small (P9s) is designed to gently lift and separate the periosteum, a thin membrane that covers the outer surface of the bone.
This separation is done to provide access to the underlying bone during various dental and oral surgical procedures.
The "Small" designation in its name indicates that this instrument is of a smaller size compared to other periosteal elevators, which can be beneficial for delicate and precise procedures.
INDICATION:
Prepare the Patient: Ensure that the patient is appropriately positioned and adequately anesthetized for the procedure. Establish proper infection control measures.
Select the P9s Elevator: Choose the GDC Periosteal Elevator Molt-9 Small (P9s) for the procedure. Ensure that it is clean and sterile.
Inspect the Instrument: Examine the P9s for any defects or damage before use. If you find any issues, do not use it and obtain a replacement.
Position the Patient: Position the patient's head and mouth in a way that provides clear visibility and access to the surgical site.
Gently Lift the Periosteum: Hold the P9s like a pen, with a firm but gentle grip on the handle.Carefully insert the curved and tapered tip of the elevator beneath the periosteum (the thin membrane covering the bone) at the surgical site.Use slow, controlled motions to lift and separate the periosteum from the bone. This step allows better access to the underlying bone for the intended procedure.
Monitor Tissue Response: Pay close attention to the response of the periosteum and surrounding tissues. The goal is to minimize trauma while achieving the desired elevation.
Complete the Procedure: Once the periosteum is adequately lifted and access to the bone is established, proceed with the specific dental procedure, whether it's dental implant placement, bone grafting, or another surgical task.
Sterilize: Clean instruments and Sterilize after use.
Post-Operative Care: Provide post-operative instructions to the patient, including any necessary medications and follow-up appointments.
