The fine point of the Sharpened Spade Proximator® facilitates sulcular retraction and aids in positive engagement into the PDL space. The thin profile and sharpened edges incise the ligament quickly and expand the alveolus laterally. In cases where there is a lack of coronal structure or the root has fractured subgingivally, the tip of the Sharpened Spade Proximator® can still be easily advanced along the side of the root. 

Application:

Premolar to premolar in the upper or lower arch
