The rootEX Root Tip Extractor makes it possible to extract tooth fragments with no additional surgical intervention for the first time. The rootEX system works for both humans and animals.In contrast to customary tools designed for removal of tooth fragments, our patented rootEX Root Tip Extractor offers a simple and safe method for root tip extraction without complications and in one piece. The innovative integration of the drilling segment and the retentive segment in one instrument allows for the new and unique functionality of the rootEX Root Tip Extractor.The drilling segment makes it possible to clean the root canal and enlarge it or to drill into the tooth fragment.Unlike customary tools, which are twisted into the root tip like a screw, overtwisting of the rootEX Root Tip Extractor can be ruled out so any further cracking of the tooth fragment is prevented.As soon as the drilling segment has penetrated the root canal or the fragment as far as necessary, the retentive element of the rootEX Root Tip Extractor creates a form-fitting and/or force-locking connection with the tooth fragment.This ensures extraction of the tooth fragment from the alveolus in one piece without complications in the next step.
