ROOT ELEVATORS NES-704

Fig. 46
Getting a clean purchase on an upper posterior root after crown removal or fracture is one of the more technically demanding steps in a routine surgical extraction. The NES-704 is designed specifically for that situation. Listed as Fig. 46 and indicated for upper posterior roots, this instrument belongs to the Cryer elevator family, a pattern built around a pointed triangular blade that drives into the interdental space and engages the root surface with a rotational action rather than a simple lever push.
What makes the Cryer pattern work in the posterior maxilla is that angled blade geometry. A straight elevator often has nowhere to go when working around a palatal or buccal root of an upper molar. The NES-704’s pointed tip seats into the socket or interdental bone adjacent to the root and converts rotational handle movement into directed apical and outward force on the root itself. That mechanical advantage is what allows controlled elevation without excessive pressure on the surrounding bone.
Among the surgical root elevator used in posterior maxillary cases, the Cryer pattern is the instrument many clinicians reach for after a molar has been sectioned and individual roots need to be mobilized. The NES-704 handles that task cleanly, whether the root in question is buccal, palatal, or a retained fragment following crown fracture.
The instrument holds up reliably through repeated sterilization cycles, and the precision tip retains its geometry without degrading prematurely. It pairs naturally with a Cryer left-side instrument when working the full range of upper posterior root positions in a single procedure.
Any surgeon handling routine upper molar extractions should have this instrument on the tray. Complete your posterior extraction set with the NES-704 today.
