ROOT ELEVATORS NES-891

3 MM
The NES-891 is a straight luxating elevator with a 3 mm tip, built around a mechanism that differs meaningfully from a standard wedge-style elevator. Rather than levering the tooth out through brute force against bone, a luxator uses a thin, sharp blade edge to sever the periodontal ligament fibers directly, working its way around the root with a slicing motion instead of a prying one.
That distinction matters most when preserving the surrounding bone is a priority, such as before implant placement. Because the luxator cuts through ligament attachment rather than levering against the socket wall, it tends to produce less pressure on the buccal plate, which supports a cleaner extraction site for future restorative work. Clinicians who focus on atraumatic extraction technique often build their approach around this instrument specifically for that reason.
Typical uses for the NES-891 include:
Severing periodontal ligament fibers before applying forceps
Atraumatic extractions where socket preservation matters for future implants
Loosening single-rooted teeth with minimal bone stress
Working around the full circumference of a root before final removal
Among dental root elevators, the luxator pattern stands apart for clinicians whose workflow depends on keeping the extraction site as undisturbed as possible.
