Fig 00 Lindo Levine Straight for Roots and Fragments – TC Coating

Product Overview

The Fig 00 Lindo Levine Straight for Roots and Fragments – TC Coating is a precision dental extraction instrument designed for controlled management of retained, fractured, and difficult-to-access root fragments during oral surgical and dental extraction procedures. Featuring a straight Lindo Levine pattern and a tungsten carbide (TC) coated working surface, this instrument is intended to provide dependable contact and controlled handling when conventional smooth-surface instruments may have difficulty maintaining engagement.

The Lindo Levine pattern is recognized for its straight configuration and is used in dental extraction procedures involving tooth luxation and the management of fractured root fragments. The addition of a TC-coated working surface provides an enhanced gripping interface, helping the operator maintain controlled contact with the intended area during careful fragment manipulation.

Designed for professional dental and oral surgical environments, the Fig 00 pattern combines practical geometry, a direct working approach, and a durable instrument construction suitable for demanding clinical workflows.

Detailed Product Description

Root-fragment management can require a high level of precision, particularly when a fractured root or retained fragment is positioned within the alveolar socket and requires controlled mobilization. The Fig 00 Lindo Levine Straight for Roots and Fragments is designed around this type of clinical requirement.

Its straight working configuration provides a direct approach to the treatment area, while the Lindo Levine design supports controlled application of the instrument during appropriate extraction and root-fragment procedures. Straight Lindo-Levine elevators are described as instruments used to luxate teeth before extraction and to assist with fractured root fragments.

The TC coating is an important feature of this model. Tungsten carbide provides a harder, textured working surface compared with an uncoated stainless-steel contact surface. This can improve the instrument’s ability to maintain purchase on suitable surfaces during controlled manipulation. The coating is particularly relevant when working with small or difficult fragments where maintaining stable contact is important.

The instrument is therefore well suited to professional dental practices, oral surgery departments, dental hospitals, teaching institutions, and surgical instrument sets where specialized root and fragment management instruments are required.
