Dental extracting forceps are specialized tools used by dentists for tooth extraction procedures. Each type of forceps is designed for specific teeth, ensuring a secure grip and effective removal of the tooth with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. Here’s a breakdown of their uses:
- Lower Molar Forceps:
- Specifically designed to extract lower molars, which are typically larger and more securely anchored in the jaw.
- The shape and design provide a better grip and leverage, reducing the risk of damaging adjacent teeth or gum tissue during extraction.
- Upper Third Molar Forceps (Left & Right):
- Used for the extraction of upper third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, which are located at the back of the upper jaw.
- Separate forceps for left and right ensure precision and ease when removing molars from either side of the upper jaw.
- Their specialized design allows for improved access to hard-to-reach molars, especially in crowded or angled areas.
