Mesial Posterior Elevator 77R Serrated Tip 3.75mm

77R Mesial Posterior Elevator 3.75mm Serrated

The 77R Mesial Posterior Elevator 3.75mm Serrated is a purpose-specific dental elevator designed for posterior extraction workflows where the direction of instrument approach is an important consideration. Its mesial-oriented working configuration provides a dedicated working path toward suitable posterior tooth and root surfaces.

A defining characteristic 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 contact area appropriate for selected posterior elevation procedures. This combination distinguishes the 77R from smooth-tip and narrower elevator patterns.

The mesial configuration is particularly relevant when access to a posterior structure is better approached from the mesial direction. Rather than functioning as a general-purpose straight elevator, the 77R offers a more specialized geometry for clinicians selecting instruments according to tooth position and available working access.

The instrument can be incorporated into extraction procedures involving suitable posterior teeth and root structures. It may be used as part of a sequence in which the tooth or root is progressively mobilized before removal, with the specific instrument selection determined by anatomy, access, and clinical technique.

The angled shank provides a transition between the working end and handle, allowing the operator to position the instrument while maintaining a secure grip. The ergonomic handle is designed to provide tactile feedback during manipulation and controlled placement.

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, the 77R is intended for durability and repeated professional use. Its corrosion-resistant construction and reusable design make it suitable for routine dental instrument processing and sterilization.

Mesial Working Direction and Serrated Tip

The combination of mesial orientation and serrated working geometry is what gives the 77R its distinct position within a dental elevator selection.

The mesial configuration addresses the direction of access, while the 3.75mm serrated tip defines the working interface. These two characteristics should therefore be considered together when selecting the instrument.

FAQs

What is a 77R mesial posterior elevator?
A 77R is a posterior dental elevator with a mesial-oriented working configuration, designed for directional access to suitable posterior tooth and root structures.

What size tip does the 77R elevator have?
This model features a 3.75mm working tip with a serrated surface.

Why does the 77R have a serrated tip?
The serrated working surface provides a textured contact profile that distinguishes the instrument from smooth-tip elevator designs and supports engagement with suitable tooth or root surfaces.

What does the “R” in 77R refer to?
The 77R identifies the specific elevator pattern and configuration. The instrument is commonly described as a mesial posterior elevator within the 77 series.

Is the 77R suitable for posterior teeth?
Yes. Its posterior configuration makes it intended for selected posterior tooth and root elevation workflows, including appropriate molar-region applications.

Can the 77R elevator be sterilized in an autoclave?
The stainless-steel instrument is designed for repeated professional use and standard dental sterilization workflows, including appropriate autoclave processing.
