At Ayoub Dental, we employ a wide range of surgical instruments to perform a versatile range of dental procedures. The surgical instruments that we use are all high-end and help in easily and successfully manipulating, restoring and removing the structures present in the oral cavity. Our dental instruments include:
1. Anesthetic syringe
An anesthetic syringe is used to inject anesthesia into a patient' body. It comprises a breech-loading syringe fitted with a sealed cartridge that contains an anesthetic solution. Anesthesia helps relieve dental anxiety and fear.
2. Surgical aspirators
Medical aspirators are used during surgical procedures to perform suction in order to remove mucus, blood, or other bodily fluids from a patient's oral cavity.
3. Dental elevators
A dental elevator is used during tooth extraction to loosen the tooth in its socket by moving it to and fro. It frees the tooth from the periodontal ligament and allows the dentist to extract it easily. Elevation creates space and prevents damage to neighboring tissues and teeth.

12. Bone crusher
A bone crusher is also used during grafting procedures and creates approximately 2mm particles of bone for grafting purposes.
13. Scalers or curettes
A curette or scaler is used to remove plaque and tartar deposits from the surface of teeth and below the gum line. It is used for periodontal scaling, calculus debridement, and root planing.
14. Forceps
Forceps are used along with elevators to extract teeth. Forceps have beaks that fit around the cervical portion of the dental crown and force is applied along the handle to uproot the tooth.
15. Surgical scissors
Surgical scissors are used during surgical dental procedures to cut through tissues present in the oral cavity. They have sharp blades and are fabricated from very hard stainless steel for ongoing toughness.
16. Suture scissors
Suture scissors or mayo scissors are used for suture removal. These have a small hook-like tip on one blade that easily slips under sutures to slightly lift them before cutting for removal. Suture scissors are fabricated using medical grade stainless steel or titanium.
