Short-Blade Periotome

Luxator® Short

10 mm shorter blade. Same atraumatic performance — ideal for smaller hands or restricted access.

Since 1975

Invented by a Swedish dentist. Refined over five decades.

The origin of the Luxator dates back to 1975, when a Swedish dentist grew frustrated with older-style elevators that relied on leverage from surrounding tissues. After six years of steel testing and 18 months of clinical trials, the Luxator was born — and it has remained the instrument of choice for atraumatic extraction worldwide ever since.

Why Luxator

Precision. Control. Outcomes.

Three clinical advantages that have defined Luxator for over 50 years.

Atraumatic Extraction

The fine tapered blade compresses the alveolar bone and cuts the periodontal ligaments, gently easing the tooth from its socket. Reduced trauma means rapid healing, less post-operative pain, and preserved bone anatomy — critical for immediate implant placement.

World-Renowned Handle Design

Designed by a practicing dentist to minimize force and fatigue. The shape and size distribute pressure across the hand, reducing repetitive strain in high-volume practices while providing outstanding tactility through premium Swedish steel.

Implant-Ready Bone Preservation

Cutting the periodontal ligament rather than leveraging against surrounding tissue preserves alveolar bone height and width — enabling direct implant placement, fewer surgical sessions, and a shortened edentulous period for the patient.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Conventional elevators rely on leverage from surrounding tissues, leading to unpredictable outcomes and unnecessary trauma. The Luxator inserts almost parallel to the tooth's long axis, cutting the periodontal ligament directly — causing significantly less damage, faster healing, and less post-operative pain.
The Periotome is the instrument of choice for most extractions. The Short Periotome offers a 10 mm shorter blade for restricted access. The P-Series provides increased tactility via a penholder grip. The Forte Elevator is designed for root elevation. The Dual Edge handles fractured or decayed roots. The Titanium series offers enhanced durability with no sharpening required.
Yes — this is one of the key clinical advantages. Because the method preserves alveolar bone height and width, the extraction site is suitable for immediate implant placement. This eliminates the socket healing wait, reduces total surgical sessions, and shortens the patient's edentulous time.
Yes. All Luxator instruments are fully autoclavable and supplied in the Fixus 1 case — an autoclavable container designed to organise, protect, and extend the life of instruments between procedures.
Standard stainless steel Luxators can be sharpened using the Luxator L10 sharpening tool (sold separately). The Titanium series features a TiN coating that maintains sharpness over time — no sharpening required.
