Instrument Overview

As a Heidbrink root tip elevator dental instrument, this double-ended instrument is particularly well suited for elevating and luxating root tips in posterior and anterior regions. The serrated edges on the working tip improve purchase on root surfaces, reducing the risk of slippage. The 1.5 mm working tip allows access to narrow alveolar spaces where larger instruments would be impractical.

The ZEPF-Line handle is designed to deliver ergonomic control, enabling precise force transmission without unnecessary hand fatigue. This handle design is a hallmark of Helmut Zepf's instrument range, supporting consistent clinical outcomes across routine and complex extractions.
