Luxator LX

Setting a new standard for atraumatic extraction, the new Luxator LX mechanical periotome offers improved safety, precision, and access. The Luxator LX offers a reciprocating tip in a vertical direction for secure cutting of the Sharpey's fibers in a patient friendly way or a self directing tip that allows the periotome tip to follow the root surface, reducing the risk of bone damage. It provides optimal access for difficult to reach areas (molar, lingual/palatinal, distal). It is durable with a titanium coated tip that glides easier into the socket and remains sharp.

SpotIt^®

Identifying contact points on crowns and bridges has never been easy. Before cementation of conventional crowns, bridges, and implant prosthetics, it is necessary to assess the relationship of the crown to the neighboring teeth. Occlusion paper is often used to check the contact point. However, this method shows a too broad and inaccurate contact point with the subsequent risk of excessive adjustment, often resulting in a contact point that is oversized. 

Directa’s new contact finder, SpotIt, is a colored marker available on straight and angled handles. As the marker traverses the contact between the prosthetic element and the adjacent tooth, it leaves a clear and accurate indication of the adjustment needed for a perfect contact point. The whole operation can be performed without assistance, holding the crown with one hand and the marker with the other hand.
