Description
A very unsual dental elevator, type Ryff-Scultet but with a long and perpendicular handle in brass which seem predated the handle of a dental tooth key.
The size of the instrument is a little small : 9,4×5,6cm.
The instrument seems to be a pre-dental key inspirated by the earliest elevator.
A very unusual extracting dental instrument from the first half of 18th century.
