Molt Periosteal Elevators

The Molt periosteal elevator is a classic flap-lifting pattern, offered here in eight versions. Choices run from the familiar #9 to angled, combined and papilla designs. Our team inspects each one stateside, in the United States, before it leaves our shelves.

Starting With the #9 Family

The #9 is the pattern most clinicians picture. Typically, one end is pointed for starting at the papilla, while the other is broad for wider reflection. The #9 Papilla, 175 mm option comes from the catalogue’s papilla elevator section. Its listed 175 mm length is worth noting if you prefer a longer reach.

The #2, #4 and #2/4 Patterns

The #2 and #4 are smaller working patterns. Of these, the #2 has the smaller of the two ends, so it fits tight interdental areas. The #4, in contrast, carries the larger end. If you want both sizes on one instrument, the #2/4 combines them. Therefore, one handle covers both.

Angled and Suture-Hole Versions

Next come three specialized options. The #2, Angled Double-Ended and #4, Angled Double-Ended set the working ends at an angle for posterior and lingual access. The #4, With Suture Hole adds a hole in the working end, as its name states. The catalogue gives no further detail, so compare the photos for the exact position.

Warranty Across All Eight

Whichever version you pick, it is stainless steel and ready for routine sterilization. Furthermore, a written guarantee covering three years against manufacturing defects applies to all eight versions.

For background on instrument steel, see ASTM F899. The full lineup of flap and implant tools lives in Dental Implant Instruments. When you need to tunnel under tissue rather than open a flap, our Tunneling Elevator, 17.2 cm fills that role. Need sizing advice? Our FAQs are a good first stop.

Sold for professional use by trained clinicians. Each elevator ships non-sterile, so put it through cleaning and a full sterilization cycle first, as our care and sterilization page explains. Our delivery options appear under shipping and delivery.
