ROOT ELEVATORS NES-713

Fig. 93
The NES-713 is a serrated root elevator, and that single design detail changes how the instrument performs at the working end. Most straight elevators use a smooth blade face, which works well on intact roots with healthy periodontal ligament space. When a root is calcified, dense, or awkward to approach, that same smooth surface tends to ride off the root rather than stay engaged. The serrations on the NES-713 solve that problem directly. They grip the root surface on contact, resisting lateral displacement and allowing the clinician to apply steady elevation force without repositioning the instrument mid-procedure.
Serrated dental root elevators like the NES-713 are especially useful when standard smooth-blade instruments lose purchase, making them a reliable backup in any surgical kit.
The serrated blade is particularly well suited for:
Elevating calcified or hypercementosed roots where smooth blades tend to slip
Gaining initial purchase in tight or collapsed periodontal ligament spaces
Maintaining consistent blade position during rotational or lever-action elevation
Supporting controlled root mobilization when tactile feedback through a smooth blade is insufficient
Beyond the blade finish, the straight working end allows for versatile application across anterior and premolar extractions, and the overall instrument geometry keeps force transmission predictable. Clinicians working through a busy extraction day will notice the difference during difficult cases, where the serrated face reduces the number of repositioning attempts needed before the root begins to move.
The NES-713 autoclaves reliably and holds its edge geometry through repeated sterilization cycles, making it a durable addition to any surgical tray.
