Extracting Forceps are essential tools used in dental procedures to safely and efficiently remove teeth that cannot be saved or require extraction. These forceps come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and patterns to cater to different types of teeth and extraction scenarios.
- Universal Forceps: These versatile forceps are designed to handle a wide range of tooth extractions. They come in both upper and lower jaw variations and are suitable for a variety of tooth types.
- Extraction Forceps for Anterior Teeth: These forceps are specifically designed for extracting front teeth (incisors and canines). They have fine, pointed beaks to grip the tooth's crown effectively.
- Extraction Forceps for Premolars: These forceps have slightly wider beaks to grip premolar teeth more securely during extraction.
- Molar Forceps: Molar teeth require more robust forceps due to their larger size and multiple roots. These forceps have strong, curved beaks to accommodate the varying root shapes of molars.
- Wisdom Tooth Forceps: Also known as "cowhorn" forceps, these are used for extracting impacted wisdom teeth. They have a unique curved shape that allows access to hard-to-reach areas in the mouth.
- Root Tip Forceps: When a tooth breaks during extraction, leaving a fragment behind, root tip forceps are used to grasp and remove the remaining portion.
