ROOT ELEVATORS NES-900

5 MM
The NES-900 is labeled as both a luxating elevator and a periotome, reflecting how interchangeably the two terms get used for this style of instrument. At 5 mm, it carries a thin, sharp blade edge built to sever periodontal ligament fibers around a tooth’s full circumference rather than lever it out through force against bone.
The periotome designation tends to come up specifically in implant-focused practices, where preserving the buccal plate and surrounding alveolar bone matters as much as removing the tooth itself. Working the blade methodically around the root, engaging ligament fibers on each side before moving to the next, minimizes the compressive stress that a wedge-style elevator would otherwise place on the socket walls. At 5 mm, the tip covers enough of the root surface per pass to make that circumferential approach practical on larger teeth.
Clinicians reach for this configuration in cases such as:
Extractions ahead of immediate or delayed implant placement
Larger single-rooted teeth where socket wall preservation matters
Cases where minimizing bone trauma affects the restorative plan
Following gentle ligament severing before any forceps are applied
Among dental root elevators, the periotome-style luxator has become a standard part of implant-prep protocols specifically because of how much control it gives over bone preservation.
