A 70-year-old female patient visited our clinic owing to a fractured maxillary first molar. Tooth #24 had previously had a large composite restoration that was no longer in place at the time of the dental appointment.
By means of a gentle extraction technique, we managed to preserve the interradicular septum. Luxator P4, with its extremely sharp dual-edge blade, was used at the beginning, followed by Luxator P1 once some space had been created. Although the blades of these sophisticated instruments are reinforced with a titanium coating, they should only be used to cut the periodontal ligament and never to elevate the tooth.
