FAQs
What is a root tip picker used for?
It retrieves small retained root fragments left after extraction, where a standard elevator has limited purchase.
When would I need this instead of a Coupland or Warwick James elevator?
When the remaining fragment is too small for a standard elevator to engage, the fine Heidbrink tip gives more precise, delicate access.
What material is this instrument made from?
The handle is corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel and the working end is hardened Japanese-standard J2 stainless steel, each chosen for its job: rust-resistant handling and a hard, precise working end that keeps its shape through repeated autoclave cycles.
Kept alongside root elevators and forceps for cases where a root fractures during extraction.
