Luxation of root

Once the appropriate amount of buccal bone has been removed, the straight elevator can be used down the palatal aspect of the tooth to displace the tooth root in the buccal direction. It must be remembered that when the elevator is used in this direction, the surgeon’s hand must be firmly supported on adjacent teeth to prevent slippage of the instrument and injury to the adjacent soft tissue.
