ROOT ELEVATORS NES-853

3 mm
The NES-853 is a 3 mm Flohr Flat elevator built for clinicians who want a flat-bladed instrument with a narrow working end for precise root engagement. Among our dental root elevators, the Flohr pattern stands out for its flat blade profile, which sits close against the root surface rather than wedging in at an angle. That flat contact gives the operator a stable platform for applying controlled rotational or wedging force without the blade skating across the tooth structure.
The 3 mm tip width keeps the instrument narrow enough to work in confined interproximal spaces or around fractured root tips where a bulkier elevator would struggle to gain purchase. Because the blade lies flat rather than curved, clinicians often reach for this pattern when they need consistent contact along a flat root surface, particularly during the early stages of luxation before switching to a more angled instrument.
Handling stays predictable through the procedure. The flat blade transmits feedback directly from the root surface to the operator’s hand, which helps in judging how much force the ligament space can tolerate before progressing further. This kind of tactile response matters most in cases involving retained roots or small fragments, where overcorrection can damage adjacent bone or soft tissue.
Clinicians managing single rooted extractions, fractured root removal, or cases requiring a flat, low profile working end will find the NES-853 a dependable choice for a surgical tray. Its narrow flat blade complements curved or angled elevators already in use, rounding out a more versatile instrument set.
