Modified Root Elevator acc. to Dentist Beck

Because of the elliptical shape of the instrument tip, it is easy to penetrate the interdental space with this instrument.

Due to the shape, by turning the instrument through 180° it is possible to luxate in four directions: 2x mesially and 2x distally.

The elevator works during the luxation step with 5-7 supporting points (hypomochlion), which avoids slipping through because of the different surfaces around the radius, instead of a common round-edged instrument, which works with 1-2 supporting points only. This makes the Beck Root Elevator much more effective.
