Periodontal ligament cutters are hand-held dental instruments typically made of stainless steel with a shaft terminating in a single or double flat, sharpened blade that is straight, curved, or angled, designed to cut the periodontal ligament that binds the tooth to the surrounding marginal and alveolar bone during tooth extraction. These instruments reduce the need for luxation of the tooth and minimise mechanical trauma to the bone tissue during dental extractions.
