Right Bernard No. 6 Elevator 4mm for Lateral Root Mobilization
The Right Bernard Elevator No. 6 4mm is a directional dental elevator intended for extraction workflows that call for lateral movement rather than a primarily vertical approach. Its right-sided configuration gives clinicians a dedicated option when the position of the tooth or root makes approach direction an important part of instrument selection.
The 4mm working end provides a focused contact area for engaging an appropriate tooth or root surface. This size offers more working surface than a very narrow root-tip elevator while remaining compact enough for controlled positioning around individual root structures.
The Bernard pattern is particularly suited to lateral tooth and root mobilization. Instead of centering the product around broad elevation, its primary role is to assist with loosening a suitable structure through controlled sideward movement before extraction. This makes the instrument relevant to procedures where establishing mobility is an important step in the removal sequence.
The right-oriented blade is the defining feature of this particular configuration. When the working position favors access from the right side, this orientation can provide a more suitable approach than a non-directional instrument. The shaped shank also creates a practical transition between the working end and handle, supporting stable positioning during manipulation.
The instrument can be used in selected root mobilization, tooth loosening, retained-root access, and dental extraction procedures, depending on the anatomy and available working space. Proper instrument selection should be based on the tooth position, root form, access, and the clinician's preferred extraction technique.
Its reusable construction is intended for repeated professional use with appropriate cleaning and sterilization procedures.

FAQs
What is the Right Bernard No. 6 Elevator used for?
It is designed for selected extraction procedures where lateral mobilization of a tooth or root is required before removal.
What does the Right designation indicate?
The Right designation refers to the orientation of the working end, allowing the instrument to be selected for procedures where a right-sided approach is appropriate.
What is the working-end size of this Bernard elevator?
This model has a 4mm working end, providing a focused contact surface for suitable tooth and root structures.
How does the Bernard No. 6 work during extraction?
Its configuration is intended to assist with controlled lateral movement and loosening of suitable tooth or root structures before the extraction step.
When is a 4mm working end useful?
A 4mm working end provides a defined contact area that can be useful when a clinician needs more surface engagement than a very narrow root-tip elevator while retaining a focused working profile.
Can this elevator be used for retained roots?
It can be selected for appropriate retained-root mobilization procedures when the root anatomy, access, and working direction suit the instrument.
