Directa Dental Luxator Periotome L2S, 2mm Straight Blade is used for cutting the periodontal ligament and loosening teeth from their alveolar sockets during dental extractions where the L2S's narrower 2mm straight blade provides access to the tighter apical and interproximal periodontal ligament spaces that the wider 3mm L3C blade cannot enter as precisely, allowing the clinician to sever the periodontal ligament fibers at the apical root region and in the narrow interproximal spaces between adjacent teeth before using the wider 3mm L3C blade or forceps for final tooth mobilization and removal. The 2mm blade width makes the L2S suited for use at extraction sites where the available space between the tooth root and the adjacent alveolar bone or the adjacent tooth is narrower than the 3mm blade of the L3C can access without excessive bone compression or interference with the adjacent tooth, including the narrow apical periodontal space at the root apex of deeply rooted teeth and the tight interproximal periodontal ligament space between closely approximated adjacent teeth in the posterior segments.

The straight blade geometry provides a direct apical insertion path along the long axis of the root without the lateral angular component of the curved L3C blade, making the L2S the appropriate blade shape for the direct apical insertion required for apical PDL severing at the root tip and for straight interproximal entry between adjacent teeth at the interproximal root surface. Dark green color coding of the handle and blade stripe markings provides immediate instrument identification at the surgical tray setup, distinguishing the L2S 2mm straight from the L3C 3mm curved black and other Luxator configurations within the Directa Dental color-coded Luxator range. Dentists, oral surgeons, and periodontists who incorporate the Luxator system in their extraction protocol and require the 2mm straight blade for apical and interproximal access at challenging extraction sites find Directa Dental Luxator Periotome L2S the 2mm straight dark green Swedish stainless steel autoclavable single-unit periotome for their active daily extraction program. ? Each pack contains 1 individual Directa Dental Luxator Periotome L2S in 2mm straight blade, dark green, providing the single reusable extraction instrument for addition to the practice's oral surgery and extraction instrument inventory alongside the L3C general-use instrument.

The L2S is commonly used in combination with the L3C at the same extraction procedure, with the L2S accessed first for the apical and interproximal periodontal ligament space areas and the L3C subsequently used for the wider buccal and lingual periodontal space areas, providing comprehensive PDL severing coverage around the tooth's full circumference before forceps application. Sterilizable by autoclave, dry heat, or chemiclave after each patient use. ? Directa Dental Luxator Periotome L2S works through its fine 2mm straight blade construction where the blade's narrower 2mm working width enters the tight apical and interproximal periodontal ligament spaces with less resistance than a 3mm blade, allowing controlled insertion of the blade tip into the narrowest periodontal space regions for cutting the periodontal ligament fibers at these critical locations. The straight blade geometry provides a linear insertion path that aligns with the direct apical approach needed for accessing the periapical PDL space at the root tip and with the straight interproximal entry angle needed for access between closely approximated adjacent roots in the interproximal region.

Using the L2S with a cutting and rocking motion progressively severs the PDL fibers in these tight spaces, contributing to the atraumatic extraction technique that preserves the alveolar bone and soft tissue anatomy for post-extraction implant site preparation. ? Oral surgeons who regularly encounter deeply rooted or ankylosed teeth with tight periodontal spaces find the L2S provides the narrower blade entry needed to initiate PDL severing at the apical and interproximal positions before transitioning to the L3C for the wider periodontal space areas. General dentists who have incorporated the Luxator system into their routine extraction protocol find the L2S a valuable supplementary instrument alongside the L3C starter instrument for cases where the 3mm blade cannot access all areas of the periodontal space. ? Directa Dental Luxator Periotome L2S gives dental practices a 2mm straight blade, dark green-coded Swedish stainless steel Luxator Periotome for cutting the periodontal ligament at apical and interproximal positions during atraumatic extractions, narrower than the L3C for tighter access, preserving bone integrity for pre-implant extraction cases, sterilizable by autoclave, dry heat, or chemiclave, sold individually.
