1 Heidbrink Root Tip Pick

1 Heidbrink Root Tip Pick is built to retrieve small root fragments left behind in a socket after extraction, using a fine curved point rather than the broader leverage of an elevator.

The No.1 pattern carries the mildest curve in the Heidbrink numbered series, which suits sites with fairly direct, open access, such as anterior teeth and premolar sockets, where the pick can reach the fragment without needing to work around a sharp angle. The fine point establishes a purchase along the fragment’s surface and works it free with a controlled rocking motion, keeping pressure off the surrounding alveolar bone.

Clinically, it is reached for after a root fracture during extraction, whenever a small fragment remains that is too small or too deep for forceps to regrasp. Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
