ROOT ELEVATORS NES-861

Fig. 1
The NES-861 is a Kopp pattern root elevator with a 3.6 mm tip, made for the mandibular arch specifically. Where its companion instrument handles maxillary roots, this version is shaped to work with the denser bone and different root angulation found in the lower jaw, giving clinicians a matched pair for full-arch coverage.
Mandibular bone is noticeably harder than maxillary bone, which means elevation technique in the lower arch often calls for more sustained, controlled pressure rather than the lighter touch that works on softer maxillary bone. The Kopp design accounts for this by giving the operator a tip geometry suited to holding position against firmer cortical bone while still engaging the root surface precisely.
Situations where this instrument tends to come out include:
Elevating retained or fractured roots in the mandibular premolar and molar region
Managing single-rooted lower anteriors that require careful luxation
Following forceps extraction when a root tip remains in the socket
Pairing with the NES-858 for practices treating both arches routinely
Clinicians who see a steady volume of lower extractions among dental root elevators often keep this specific tip size on hand because it matches lower arch root diameters more consistently than a general-purpose elevator would.
Having a jaw-specific instrument on the tray removes some of the guesswork when a mandibular root does not cooperate during extraction.
