Bernard Straight Elevator No. 11 for Tooth Elevation

The Bernard Straight Elevator No. 11 is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for controlled tooth elevation and mobilization during extraction procedures. Its straight working configuration provides a direct approach to suitable tooth surfaces, making it a practical option when the clinical anatomy permits straightforward instrument access.

The No. 11 Bernard pattern distinguishes this elevator from the numbered 3mm and 4mm root-tip instruments in the same general extraction category. Rather than focusing specifically on root-fragment retrieval, this model is positioned primarily as a straight tooth elevation elevator for appropriate extraction workflows.

Its straight working end allows the clinician to position the instrument along a direct path and use the elevator according to the anatomy of the tooth and surrounding treatment area. The working surface is intended for suitable engagement during tooth mobilization and elevation.

The instrument can be incorporated into extraction procedures involving tooth elevation, mobilization, and luxation. Selection and positioning should depend on tooth anatomy, access, periodontal condition, root configuration, and the clinician's preferred extraction technique.

An ergonomic handle provides a secure grip and tactile control during manipulation. This supports stable instrument positioning while controlled force is applied according to the clinical situation.

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the Bernard Straight Elevator No. 11 is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated professional use. Its reusable construction and fully autoclavable design make it suitable for standard dental instrument sterilization workflows.
