All Karl Schumacher Elevators are sharpened by finishing the gouge ‘from the top down’, resulting in a very durable, thin and sharp leading edge. Most other manufacturers sharpen their Elevators by beveling the bottom of the leading edge, resulting in a very sudden taper into a thick tip. It takes more skill to finish our elevators this way, but we know it makes a difference

Posterior Flared-Tip Elevators





There’s a good reason why the ELE0077R is the most popular Elevator we carry. The thin, serrated tip engages securely onto the
mesial aspects of posterior teeth without stretching the patients cheek. During application the tip ‘pushes’ the root structures up and out of the socket along the natural distally curving arc of the roots

Beck Modified Elevators

Traditional elevators have a rounded backside, which allows the tip to rotate like a wheel. This only allows engagement and lift for the first 45º of elevation, at which point the edge will lose purchase from the tooth. Each bevel on the back of the Beck Elevators acts as it’s own fulcrum point, allowing the Beck elevators continuous engagement past the first 45º of rotation. This special sharpening, coupled with a thin tip for access into tight interproximal areas, make the Beck Elevators extremely effective instruments for elevation, but they must only be used by rotating, not prying them
