Laster 3rd Molar Retractor
Jull-Dent 091

The Laster’s upper third molar and cheek retractor is a useful instrument in the armamentarium of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon or oral surgeon performing dentoalveolar surgery in the posterior maxilla. Developed by Dr Zvi Laster in the 1970s, the instrument was based on a Howarth’s nasal raspatory in combination with a cheek retractor. 1 Not only does the instrument provide broad retraction of soft tissues, its reflective shape provides optimal illumination of the surgical site. It has also been suggested for use to enhance access when removing lingual bony lesions such as large mandibular tori. 2 The curved handle, held with the little finger, allows multiple instruments to be held by the same hand at one time such as an osteotome. However, if not being used for this purpose the grip of the instrument is commonly observed as demonstrated
