ROOT ELEVATORS NES-953

Fig.9R
The NES-953 is an apical elevator, a pattern specifically designed for the challenging task of removing fractured root tips and deeply retained fragments. This instrument’s distinctive, fine-pointed working end is shaped to access the narrow confines of the apical third of the socket, where larger instruments cannot reach. It is a specialized tool for oral surgeons and clinicians who routinely manage complex extractions.
The defining feature of this elevator is its slim, tapered blade with a subtle curve, which allows you to work around the root apex with precision. The tip is designed to engage the fragment’s surface, providing a purchase point to apply controlled elevational force. This helps in luxating the root tip coronally without the need for excessive apical pressure, reducing the risk of displacing the fragment into the maxillary sinus or mandibular canal.
The textured round handle ensures a secure grip, which is crucial when applying the delicate, controlled force required for this specific procedure. It enhances tactile feedback, allowing you to feel the slight movement of the fragment as it loosens.
Blade profile: The slim, tapered tip is specifically engineered to reach the apical region, seating between the root fragment and the bony socket wall.
Tip curvature: The subtle angulation provides mechanical advantage for controlled elevation, helping to direct the fragment out of the socket.
Handle texture: A secure, round handle with a textured surface minimizes hand fatigue and enhances grip during delicate manipulations.
Material construction: Manufactured from German stainless steel, the elevator is durable, resists corrosion, and maintains its fine edge through sterilization.
Clinical indication: Ideal for the removal of fractured root tips, retained apical fragments, and for use in surgical extraction procedures where access is limited.
In clinical practice, the NES-953 is often the instrument of choice after a crown fracture leaves a compromised root structure. It works effectively to sever remaining periodontal ligament fibers, allowing the root to be elevated with a reduced risk of bone damage.
The polished finish enhances visibility in the often bloody and confined surgical field. Within our range of dental root elevators, this apical pattern offers a reliable solution for one of the more exacting demands of oral surgery. Its balanced feel and robust build make it a dependable tool for your extraction set.
