Elevators on Exodontia

# Most of the elevators used in exodontias work on the principle of:
A. Class I lever
B. Class II lever
C. Class III lever
D. Wheel and axle

The correct answer is A. Class I lever

Most of the elevators used are class I or simple levers. The fulcrum (alveolar bone) is located between the applied force (hand of the operators) and the load or resistance (tooth).

Effort arm (distance between the fulcrum and the force applied) should be greater than resistance arm (distance between the fulcrum and the load or resistance i.e. Tooth).

In some cases, enamel hypoplasia involving the incisal edges of anterior teeth and middle third of deciduous cuspid and first molar may be seen resulting in a characteristic ring like defect known as 'Rh hump'.

A. Monobevelled

B. Bibevelled

C. Tetrabevelled

Chisel: Chisel are unibevelled instruments for cutting bone. The edge of the working tip has bevel on one side. The working edge is sharp and is flat. To plane bone, the bevel is kept facing away from the bone. 

Osteotome: Is similar to chisel, but the edge of the working tip is bibevelled. It splits bone rather than cut or chip the bone as with chisel.
