ROOT ELEVATORS NES-966

Fig. 1 190/15
Coupland elevators are a familiar sight in general dental practice, valued for a simple straight, chisel-like blade that works well as a first-line instrument before more specialized elevators come into play. The NES-966 continues that pattern, offering a broad, flat blade suited to initiating luxation across a wide range of tooth types rather than being optimized for one narrow clinical scenario. This instrument belongs among the root elevators most commonly reached for at the start of a routine extraction.
The flat blade engages the periodontal ligament space broadly, applying rotational pressure that begins loosening the tooth before forceps are introduced. Because the design is straightforward, it tends to be intuitive for clinicians across experience levels, which is part of why Coupland patterns remain a mainstay on general extraction trays.
Typical uses for this pattern include:
Initiating ligament separation before forceps application
General purpose extractions across a range of tooth types
Situations where a straightforward, familiar handling technique is preferred
Serving as a starting instrument before switching to a more specialized elevator if needed
Manufactured from reusable surgical steel and finished for repeated autoclave sterilization, the NES-966 is built for the volume and pace of everyday extraction work. For a general dentistry practice, having a reliable Coupland pattern on hand covers the majority of routine cases without requiring a specialized instrument for every tooth.
