Professional Surgical Workflow
Many oral surgeons use the instruments progressively:
301 → Initial periodontal ligament entry
302 → Controlled luxation and expansion
303 → Final leverage for difficult root elevation
This sequence improves surgical efficiency while preserving bone and soft tissue integrity during oral surgery procedures.
