Distal Posterior Elevator 77 Serrated 3.75mm

77 Distal Posterior Elevator 3.75mm Serrated for Posterior Extraction Access

The 77 Distal Posterior Elevator 3.75mm Serrated is a specialized dental elevator designed for posterior extraction procedures where distal-oriented instrument access is preferred. Its angled working geometry provides a dedicated approach toward suitable posterior tooth and root structures rather than functioning as a general straight elevator.

A defining feature of this instrument is its 3.75mm serrated working tip. The serrated surface creates a textured working interface, while the 3.75mm width provides a substantial working profile for selected posterior elevation procedures. External product specifications similarly identify the 77 as a distal-angled posterior elevator with a 3.75mm serrated working tip.

The distal orientation is particularly relevant when the position of the posterior tooth or root makes directional access an important consideration. The elevator can be incorporated into a staged extraction workflow in which suitable tooth or root structures are progressively loosened and mobilized before removal.

Its posterior-focused geometry makes the 77 relevant to selected molar and posterior-root procedures. Established product descriptions associate this elevator pattern with posterior root access, tooth loosening, and extraction applications.

The working end transitions into an angled shank and ergonomic handle, allowing controlled positioning and tactile feedback during instrument manipulation. This makes the 77 a useful specialized addition to a dental elevator set where different working directions are selected according to anatomy.

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is designed for repeated professional use, corrosion resistance, and routine dental sterilization. Its reusable and autoclavable construction supports integration into standard instrument-processing workflows.

FAQs

What is the 77 Distal Posterior Elevator used for?
The 77 is designed for selected posterior extraction procedures involving tooth loosening, root mobilization, and elevation where a distal-oriented working approach is appropriate.

What size is the working tip on the 77 distal elevator?
This configuration features a 3.75mm working tip with a serrated surface.

Why is the 77 elevator serrated?
The serrated working surface provides a textured contact profile that distinguishes this instrument from smooth-tip elevator designs and is part of the 77's specific working configuration.

Is the 77 a posterior dental elevator?
Yes. The 77 is identified as a posterior elevator and is associated with posterior tooth and root extraction applications.

What is the difference between the 77 distal and 77R mesial elevator?
The key distinction is working direction: this 77 configuration is positioned around distal posterior access, while the 77R product is positioned around mesial posterior access.

Can the 77 distal posterior elevator be reused?
It is manufactured from stainless steel and designed for repeated professional use with appropriate dental sterilization and autoclave procedures.
