ROOT ELEVATORS NES-882

2 MM
The NES-882 combines a curved Bein blade with a serrated edge and a compact 2 mm tip, making it one of the more specialized instruments in the dental root elevator instruments lineup. The curvature lets the tip follow the natural arc of a root rather than forcing a straight-line approach, which matters when anatomy does not cooperate with a flat blade.
That curve becomes especially useful on roots with noticeable curvature of their own, where a straight elevator tends to lose contact partway through insertion. Pairing the curve with a serrated edge gives the operator both a better anatomical fit and a firmer initial hold, since the serrations help the tip stay seated once it engages the root surface. At 2 mm, the tip stays narrow enough for tight spaces without sacrificing the control that comes from proper root contact.
Clinicians tend to reach for this combination in specific situations:
Curved or dilacerated roots where a straight blade won’t track the anatomy
Small anterior teeth needing a narrower working end
Cases where a smooth-tipped curved elevator has slipped during use
Fine adjustments after initial luxation with a larger instrument
This is not typically a first-choice elevator for routine extractions, but rather one kept on hand for the specific anatomical challenges that come up often enough to warrant it.
