ROOT ELEVATORS NES-848

3 mm
The NES-848 is a 3 mm root elevator built for clinicians who need a reliable, narrow-tipped instrument for routine and surgical extractions. Among our dental root elevators, this size is one of the most frequently reached for in daily practice. The 3 mm working tip is narrow enough to seat cleanly into the periodontal ligament space without displacing surrounding soft tissue, which is particularly useful when working around multi-rooted teeth or in areas with limited interproximal access.
A 3 mm blade width gives the clinician enough surface contact to transmit controlled apical and rotational force, while keeping the tip footprint small enough to minimize pressure on the adjacent alveolar bone. That balance matters when you are working close to the sinus floor, near the inferior alveolar canal, or when managing a curved or hypercementosed root.
This elevator is well suited for:
Initial periodontal ligament separation before forceps application
Elevation of retained root tips in the anterior and premolar regions
Atraumatic luxation where preserving the socket is a priority
Fractured root removal in cases with limited surgical access
Routine extraction preparation across both arches
The instrument is manufactured from German stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclaving without loss of finish or tip integrity. The corrosion-resistant construction makes it a durable addition to any surgical tray, whether in a general practice setting, a hospital oral surgery department, or a university clinic.
The NES-848 earns its place in a complete extraction setup by handling the kind of controlled, deliberate work that sets up a clean extraction with minimal trauma. Add it to your surgical kit today.
