American Pattern Extracting Forceps for Upper Incisors and Roots - Figure 65
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our American Pattern Extracting Forceps - Figure 65 are designed for the atraumatic extraction of upper incisors and root fragments. Engineered with slim, beak-like jaws, this instrument allows for precise adaptation to the contours of anterior teeth, ensuring a secure grip while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures.
- Angled, Beak-Like Jaws for Secure Grip: The slender, curved beaks conform to the shape of upper incisors and roots, providing optimal control during extraction.
- Serrated Inner Surface for Enhanced Grasp: Improves traction on smooth tooth surfaces, reducing the risk of slippage.
- Ergonomic, Textured Handles for Comfort and Control: Enhances grip strength, allowing for stable handling and reduced hand fatigue during extractions.
- American Pattern Design for Efficient Leverage: The box-joint construction ensures strong, even pressure distribution, making extractions smoother and more controlled.
Applications:
- Extraction of Upper Incisors: Specifically designed for removing upper central and lateral incisors with minimal bone trauma.
- Removal of Root Fragments: Ideal for grasping and extracting fractured roots or retained root tips.
- Atraumatic Extractions: Designed to minimize pressure on surrounding bone for preservation of the alveolar ridge, making it useful in implant planning.
- General and Surgical Exodontia: Used in both routine extractions and more complex dental surgical cases.
- Extraction of Retained Primary Teeth: Effectively removes retained primary (baby) teeth that have failed to exfoliate naturally, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues and the developing permanent teeth.
American Pattern Extracting Forceps were developed to enhance efficiency and precision in dental extractions by improving grip and control. Figure 65, specifically designed for upper anterior teeth, may also be referred to as Upper Incisor and Root Extracting Forceps, Anterior Maxillary Forceps, or American Pattern Upper Incisor Forceps.
