ROOT ELEVATORS NES-876

3.0 MM
The NES-876 brings the Bein pattern down to a 3.0 mm tip, sized for situations where the standard 4.0 mm version feels too broad. Among dental root elevator instruments, this smaller Bein size is often chosen for anterior teeth and narrower-rooted premolars, where the periodontal ligament space is tighter and a bulkier tip risks binding against adjacent bone.
The triangular cross-section that defines the Bein pattern still applies here, just scaled down. The tapered wedge shape generates the same widening action within the ligament space, only at a size proportioned for smaller root diameters. This matters most in the maxillary anteriors and mandibular incisors, where roots tend to be slender and closely spaced, leaving little room for a heavier instrument to maneuver.
Clinicians who handle a mix of anterior and posterior extractions often keep both Bein sizes on the tray, reaching for the 3.0 mm version specifically when working on smaller teeth or when a case calls for finer control during initial luxation. Using a properly sized elevator from the start tends to reduce the fumbling that comes from forcing a larger tip into a space it was not built for.
Having the right Bein size on hand for both anterior and posterior cases keeps extraction technique consistent across a full range of tooth types.
