ROOT ELEVATORS NES-862

Fig. 2
The NES-862 is a 3.6 mm Kopp elevator designed for lower root removal, giving clinicians a compact tip built to work through the denser cortical bone and narrower access typical of the mandibular arch. Within our dental root elevators lineup, this pattern is selected when a smaller working end helps the operator stay precise in areas where surrounding bone offers less give than the maxilla.
Lower arch anatomy calls for a different touch than upper extractions. The bone is thicker and less forgiving, so a narrow, well controlled tip matters more than raw leverage. The 3.6 mm working end on the NES-862 lets the operator ease into the ligament space along the root surface, building elevation gradually rather than forcing it in a single motion.
Clinicians reach for this instrument in situations such as:
Elevating mandibular anterior and premolar roots prior to forceps placement
Working near the mental foramen region where controlled, limited force matters
Managing lower root fragments in confined interproximal spaces
Starting luxation on single rooted mandibular teeth before switching instruments
Rounding out a lower arch extraction set alongside larger elevators
The balanced handle supports steady, repeatable hand movements, which helps when several small adjustments are needed rather than one continuous push. For clinicians who see a regular volume of mandibular extractions, the NES-862 offers a size matched to the demands of that anatomy.
