ROOT ELEVATORS NES-706

Fig. 77R
The NES-706 carries a serrated working surface, listed under Fig. 77R in the NextEdge Surgical catalogue, and that texture changes how the instrument behaves the moment it contacts the root. A smooth blade can skate across a wet root surface under pressure. A serrated one bites and holds, which gives the operator a more predictable point of purchase before any elevating force is applied.
That grip matters most in cases where the root surface is already compromised. Fractured roots, teeth with cervical decay, or surfaces slick with blood and saliva all make it harder for a plain-finish elevator to seat reliably. The serrated edge on the NES-706 reduces that slippage risk, letting the clinician direct force along the intended path instead of correcting for a blade that keeps sliding off target. As part of the broader dental root elevator range, the “R” designation on this figure number points to a right-oriented working end, suited to matching cases on that side of the arch.
Clinical situations where this texture earns its keep:
Elevating fractured or partially resorbed root fragments with irregular surfaces
Maintaining tip purchase in a wet or bloody surgical field
Working root tips that have already resisted a smooth-bladed elevator
Supporting controlled luxation where slippage risk is a concern
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, the NES-706 holds its serration through repeated autoclave cycles, which keeps that grip consistent case after case. A texture like this isn’t there for show. It solves a specific problem clinicians run into on the harder extractions.
