ROOT ELEVATORS NES-936

3.0 MM
At 3.0 mm, the NES-936 sits toward the wider end of the periotome range, still built around the same principle of gradual, low pressure ligament expansion but sized for teeth where a 2 mm blade would leave too much of the root surface unengaged. Periotomes trade the speed of a standard elevator for something closer to patience, working the blade progressively deeper along the periodontal space rather than levering the tooth free in one motion.
The wider blade suits premolars and single rooted molars where socket preservation is part of the surgical plan, particularly when an implant is anticipated at the same site or shortly after healing. Clinicians building out a complete range of root elevator instruments often keep more than one periotome width on hand, since root diameter varies enough across tooth types that a single size rarely covers every case.
Technique remains the same regardless of width: small, controlled advances along the root surface, checking resistance before pushing further rather than forcing the blade past where the ligament naturally gives way. This measured approach is what protects the surrounding bone, particularly the thin buccal plate that grafting and implant procedures depend on staying intact. Manufactured from reusable surgical steel and finished for repeated autoclave cycles, the NES-936 integrates directly into existing sterilization workflows.
For practices where extraction routinely precedes restoration, a well stocked periotome range removes guesswork from that first surgical step.
