ROOT ELEVATORS NES-856

10 mm
The NES-856 is a 10 mm Cryer elevator built for clinicians who regularly manage root fragment removal and molar extractions where a pointed, triangular tip is the right tool for the job. Among our dental root elevators, the Cryer pattern is recognized for its sharply pointed working end, which is designed to engage a purchase point on the root surface rather than simply wedging into the ligament space. That distinction matters most when the surrounding bone has already been altered by a fracture or partial removal.
The pointed tip allows the operator to seat the instrument into a small notch or drilled purchase point, then apply rotational force to walk the root fragment out of the socket. This approach gives more predictable control than a broad flat blade when the remaining root structure offers little else to grip. Clinicians often reach for this pattern specifically because it does not rely on ligament engagement alone.
Typical situations where this instrument earns its place on the tray include:
Removing fractured mesial or distal roots of multi rooted molars
Extracting root fragments after forceps have separated the crown
Working in sockets where limited bone support calls for a purchase point technique
Managing cases where a broad elevator cannot gain adequate contact
Completing extractions that began with forceps but left residual root structure
The handle is shaped to support steady rotational movement, which helps maintain directional control as the fragment is walked free. Clinicians who handle molar extractions on a regular basis will find the Cryer pattern a practical complement to straight and triangular elevators already in their kit.
