2.5 mm
The NES-789 features a 2.5 mm working tip, making it an apical root elevator suited for precise engagement of residual root fragments. This pattern is commonly selected when the clinician needs to reach and elevate apical portions after a tooth has fractured during extraction.
As part of the root elevator collection, the NES-789 supports controlled luxation in confined spaces. The narrow 2.5 mm tip allows the instrument to slide along the periodontal ligament space and apply directed force without broad contact against surrounding bone.
Clinical strengths of this instrument include:
Fine tip dimensions that facilitate access to apical root tips in both maxillary and mandibular sockets.
Figure 302 configuration that promotes secure purchase on small or curved root segments.
Effective ligament separation that helps free fractured fragments prior to retrieval with forceps or other elevators.
Predictable handling during surgical removal of retained roots following incomplete extractions.
Dentists and oral surgeons reach for the NES-789 when managing broken root apices, especially in cases where visibility is limited and finer instruments reduce the risk of unnecessary bone removal. It complements larger elevators by handling the final stages of root delivery once the bulk of the tooth structure has been luxated.
The NES-789 fits naturally into a comprehensive extraction set, offering the refined tip control required for meticulous apical work. Keep this instrument available for those procedures where standard elevators leave residual fragments behind.
