Direction of use

Cuiding principles for use of elevators:
The following rules should be observed when using elevators in
general:


Never use an adjacent tooth as a fulcrum, unless that tooth is to be
extracted itself in the same visit, and the fulcrum should always be
bony one (alveolar bone).

An elevator should always be supported to avoid slippage and
injury to the patient.

Avoid the use of excessive force if the tooth/root resist luxation, by
gentle rotation, then stop, look for the obstruction to elevation, and deal
with it.
