A hand-held gripping device that allows one of a surgeon, a dentist, and an orthodontist to reach interior portions of a person's anatomy, includes a gripping portion having a pair of jaws movable relative to each other between fully clamped and fully opened positions thereof, a handle portion spaced apart from the jaw portion by a bendable central portion that has a hollow, bendable corrugated with at least one cord extending therethrough.

A dental elevator device is described herein, where the dental elevator has an ergonomic grip to facilitate the prying of teeth from the mouth of a patient. The device may include a holder portion of the ergonomic dental elevator, a zig-zag shaped shank portion of the ergonomic dental elevator, and a honey spoon dipper shaped blade portion. The holder portion is ergonomically designed in the shape of a human hand to reduce fatigue and discomfort as the dentist performs his work.

A crown remover is provided. The crown remover is a crown removing dental appliance including a tray having a base, a buccal side vertical prong extending along an entire first side of the tray, and a palatal side vertical prong extending along an entire second side of the tray located opposite the first side. A buccal side vertical prong screw allows for adjustability of the buccal side vertical prong and a palatal side vertical prong screw allowing for adjustability of the palatal side vertical prong. A buccal side horizontal projection is located on the buccal side vertical prong and protrudes toward the center of the tray. A palatal side horizontal projection is located on the palatal side vertical prong and protrudes toward the center of the tray. A handle protrudes from the base.

Provided is a tooth extraction auxiliary tool which can reduce a burden on a tooth serving as a tooth extraction target, an alveolar bone at this tooth extraction target site, and/or adjacent teeth. A tooth extraction auxiliary tool 1 having a first auxiliary substrate 11 and a second auxiliary substrate 12 is used. The first auxiliary substrate 11 is inserted into a recessed portion X0 formed in a tooth X2, and the second auxiliary substrate 12 is tightened with respect to the first auxiliary substrate 11. In this manner, in a state where the first auxiliary substrate 11 is in pressure contact with the tooth X2, a force is applied to the tooth extraction auxiliary tool 1 by using the second auxiliary substrate 12, and the tooth X2 is pulled out from a gum X1.

The invention prescribes a dental tooth elevator for dental use, one embodiment of which exhibits a doubled bladed instrument formed by a U-shaped notch which resists bending for extracted teeth and gum line when embedded to expand and loosen teeth between tooth and bone both mesio-distal (backward) and bucco-lingual (side-to-side) as said elevator is twisted by operator increasing tooth movement while, unlike traditional straight elevators, the flat tipped doubled blades further resists slippage during tooth extraction.
