description
A Root Tip Elevator #78 (often called a Heidbrink root tip pick) is a delicate dental instrument used by dentists to retrieve small, loose root fragments or root tips that break away during an extraction procedure. It is especially designed for tight or hard-to-reach areas.
Design: It features a straight, narrow, and very sharp working tip that allows it to fit easily into narrow periodontal spaces without causing trauma to the surrounding bone.
Function: Unlike larger standard elevators that are used to lift and pry out whole teeth, the #78 is used with delicate rocking and teasing motions to scoop out tiny root fragments from the socket.
Handle: Often designed with lightweight, hollow bodies or secure, non-slip finger platforms so the clinician has high tactile feedback and precise control.
Common Sets: The #78 is universally straight. It is frequently sold or used as part of a set of three alongside the #79 (Left-angled) and #80 (Right-angled) root tip picks for better accessibility in different quadrants of the mouth.
