Periotomes are extraction instruments designed for cutting the periodontal ligament for an atraumatic extraction by involving a vertical pressure along the longer axes of the tooth roots. They are constructed with surgical-grade stainless steel that is highly resistant to wearing and corrosion for longer-lasting service life and a round handle with an ideal diameter that reduces hand and wrist fatigue during procedures.

The size 3 periotomes are right, single-ended tools with a thin and flat blade for posterior applications.
