ROOT ELEVATORS NES-823

14 mm
The NES-823 is a Seldin 1R elevator, right-side, at 14 mm, a design built around broad, controlled periosteal and root elevation rather than fine tip work. The Seldin pattern is generally recognized for its wide, paddle-shaped working end, which distributes force across a larger surface area than a narrow elevator tip would, making it useful in situations that call for steady, sweeping pressure rather than a single point of contact.
That broader working surface changes the technique it supports. Instead of concentrating force on one small area of the root, a Seldin elevator spreads pressure more evenly, which can help loosen a tooth gradually without the sharp, localized stress that a thinner blade applies. At 14 mm, there’s enough length to give real mechanical leverage, and the right-side orientation means the instrument seats naturally into that side of the arch without requiring an awkward wrist angle. Broader-bladed designs like this one round out a complete set of dental root elevator instruments, giving the clinician an option beyond narrow-tip elevators when the case calls for it.
Where the NES-823 tends to be used:
Broad, distributed pressure elevation on the right side of the arch
Cases where a wider working surface reduces localized stress
Periosteal and root elevation requiring sweeping, controlled movement
Rounding out a kit alongside narrower, more precise elevators
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the NES-823 is designed to hold its paddle geometry through repeated autoclave cycles, keeping that broad, even contact consistent over time. Not every case calls for precision alone. Sometimes controlled, distributed force gets the job done better.
