The image shows a Seldin elevator, a commonly used dental instrument designed for the elevation and loosening of upper tooth roots and root fragments during extractions.
It features a curved, flat, spade-like blade that allows for insertion between the root and alveolar bone, applying leverage to elevate the root gently.
The design minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues, making it ideal for atraumatic extractions. The handle is structured for a firm grip, allowing precise control during use.
