ROOT ELEVATORS NES-872

Working the right side of a patient’s mouth introduces a specific set of access and angulation challenges, particularly in the posterior regions where direct visibility is reduced and instrument approach is more constrained. The NES-872 is a Kopp Right elevator, a laterally oriented variant of the Kopp pattern designed so its blade engages root surfaces from the right side of the arch with a natural working angle. It is part of the dental root elevators range at NextEdge Surgical and pairs directly with its left-side counterpart for complete bilateral arch coverage.
The clinical value of a right-specific Kopp comes down to approach angle. A straight or non-directional elevator often requires awkward wrist positioning to achieve proper blade-to-root contact on the right side, particularly at the premolar and molar level. The Kopp Right resolves this by orienting the working end so it seats predictably against the mesial or distal root surface without forcing the clinician into a compromised grip. That translates to better control during the elevation stroke and more consistent force delivery across the periodontal ligament.
This matters most in surgical cases where access is already limited by the flap margin, the patient’s mouth opening, or the position of adjacent bone. In those situations, an instrument that arrives at the correct angle without adjustment reduces the number of repositioning attempts and keeps the procedure moving efficiently.
The NES-872 is built from German stainless steel, giving it the corrosion resistance needed for regular autoclave sterilization and the structural integrity to hold its blade geometry through repeated clinical use. Clinicians who handle high volumes of right-side extractions will find it a practical and dependable addition to their surgical tray. Order the NES-872 today.
