Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A surgical chisel is used to spilt or section a tooth for easier removal and to reshape and recontour alveolar bone. A roungeur is used to trim and remove excess alveolar bone following an extraction and to contour alveolar bone after single or multiple extractions. A bone file is used to remove or smooth rough edges of alveolar bone and is used with a push-pull motion. A straight elevator loosens the tooth from the periodontal ligaments before extraction and separates and lifts the tooth from the socket.
