Proximators: Useful for Atraumatically Extracting Teeth?
Last Updated: Feb 04, 2008
Anon. asks:
I do a fair number of immediate implant placement following extraction. I have been having good luck with the periotomes but am always looking for something better. I have recently seen advertisements for Proximators. These look like undersized elevators with small tips and are supposed to be useful for atraumatically extracting teeth. Before I invest in these, I wanted to get some feedback from the group. Is anybody using these and what do you think about them? Is the investment worth it?
