ROOT ELEVATORS NES-818

10 mm
The NES-818 is a left-side Cryer elevator, 10 mm, a design built specifically around root tip retrieval in multi-rooted teeth once the crown has already come away. The Cryer pattern is generally recognized for its paired, mirror-image design, and the left orientation on this instrument means it approaches the interradicular space from the angle that actually matches a left-side extraction, rather than forcing the clinician to compensate with wrist rotation.
That orientation matters more in Cryer work than in most other elevator patterns, since the whole design depends on wedging into the space between roots left behind after a molar crown has fractured or been sectioned. A properly side-matched Cryer seats into that interradicular space cleanly, using the bifurcation or trifurcation itself as a fulcrum rather than fighting against it. At 10 mm, there’s enough working length to generate real mechanical advantage without the instrument becoming unwieldy in a smaller posterior field. This kind of paired, side-specific approach is a hallmark of well-organized dental root elevators built around actual surgical technique rather than a one-size-fits-all shape.
Common uses for the NES-818:
Elevating retained roots from multi-rooted teeth after crown fracture
Working the interradicular space in molar extractions
Left-side approaches where orientation-matched instrumentation matters
Surgical extractions requiring a fulcrum-based elevation technique
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the NES-818 is designed to maintain its wedge geometry through repeated autoclave cycles, a real requirement given how much this technique depends on precise tip engagement. Pairing it with its right-side counterpart rounds out a genuinely complete root elevation set.
