ROOT ELEVATORS NES-722

Fig. 11 A
The NES-722 is a stout elevator designed specifically for third molar use, with a heavier blade and reinforced shank geometry that resists flexion when sustained lateral force is needed to break the periodontal ligament and begin root mobilization.
Standard elevators can work for routine extractions, but when a wisdom tooth is sitting deep or partially impacted, a purpose-built stout instrument is what keeps the procedure moving without instrument failure or blade deflection. The dental root elevator in this configuration excels where narrower blades lose their mechanical advantage against wider, more substantial root surfaces.
The NES-722 handles these situations reliably:
Luxating partially or fully impacted third molars before or after sectioning
Applying firm lateral force against dense posterior mandibular or maxillary bone
Engaging broad root trunks where a narrower blade cannot generate adequate purchase
Supporting socket expansion before delivery with extraction forceps
The stout design also benefits the clinician’s grip. A heavier working end transfers more tactile feedback through the handle, helping the surgeon feel when the ligament is releasing rather than simply pushing against unyielding bone. That feedback matters during third molar surgery, where visibility is often limited and the clinician is working more by feel than by direct sight.
The NES-722 autoclaves without issue and maintains its blade structure through repeated sterilization cycles. Add it to your surgical extraction kit today.
