Root Elevators, Fig. 190 & 191

Description

Root Elevators, Fig. 190 & 191

This listing covers two numbered figures with no eponym attached: the Fig. 190 root elevator and its partner, Fig. 191. They suit a clinician who orders by number rather than by name. Pick either one, or both, since each sells as a single piece.

Ordering by Number Alone

Some trays follow a school list or an older office chart. Such lists often give a figure number only. So if your chart says 190 or 191, this is the page to use. Also, keep a note of what you order, because the number is the clearest way to reorder later.

Matching a Figure to the Case

We do not give a rule for which figure goes where. Instead, try each one on a model and see how it seats. Then think about the root you face and the access you have. In practice, the figure that feels steady in your hand is often the right one.

• Fig. 190: the first of the two numbers.
• Fig. 191: the second numbered figure.
• Both: a fuller choice for a busy tray.

Sound Elevator Habits

Seat the tip between root and socket wall, then use wedging and gentle rotation. Keep a finger rest on firm tissue at all times. However, do not pivot on the next tooth unless it is also for extraction. Where an implant may follow, spare the buccal plate.

When You Want a Named Pattern

If neither number suits, look at an eponym family. For example, many surgeons start with a straight concave design and add numbered figures later. That way, the Fig. 190 root elevator becomes a useful extra rather than a first tool.

Quality, Cover and Help

Both figures follow a specification we set, and each passes a US inspection. The steel is stainless and conforms to ASTM F899. Neither figure is sterile on arrival, so clean and sterilise it first; after that it is reusable. Should a defect from manufacture surface, we honor three years against manufacturing defects.
