Fig. 76S (Upper Roots) Extracting Forceps

Professional Dental Extraction Instrument – English Pattern

Fig. 76S (Upper Roots) Extracting Forceps is a professionally designed dental extraction instrument intended for the controlled removal of upper tooth roots and retained root structures during dental extraction procedures. This forceps belongs to the traditional English Pattern extraction forceps range and is identified in dental instrument catalogs as a forceps for upper roots. The Fig. 76S pattern is also available in serrated configurations, providing enhanced purchase on the tooth or remaining root structure during extraction.

Designed for use by trained dental professionals, the Fig. 76S combines a purpose-oriented working profile with a strong, ergonomic handle configuration to support controlled handling during extraction procedures. Its working ends are designed to engage the accessible portion of an upper root while allowing the operator to apply carefully controlled extraction forces.

This instrument is suitable for professional dental clinics, oral surgery departments, dental hospitals, teaching institutions, dental laboratories and surgical instrument suppliers seeking a dedicated upper-root extraction forceps.

Product Overview

The Fig. 76S Upper Roots Forceps is part of the specialized family of dental extracting forceps used for tooth and root removal. Catalog references specifically classify Fig. 76S under Upper Roots, while the 76S serrated version is described as an upper-root forceps used for extracting teeth from the alveolar bone.

The instrument is particularly suited to situations where a dentist requires a dedicated forceps pattern for grasping and removing upper-root remnants. Its specialized working geometry allows the operator to position the beaks around an appropriate portion of the root and apply controlled rotational, traction or other clinically appropriate movements according to the individual case.

The Fig. 76S pattern is therefore a practical addition to a professional extraction instrument set where reliable access to upper roots is required.

Intended Use

The primary intended application of the Fig. 76S Upper Roots Forceps is the extraction of suitable upper tooth roots and retained root fragments during dental procedures.

The instrument may be incorporated into extraction setups where the crown of a tooth is absent, damaged, fractured or otherwise unsuitable for conventional crown engagement. In such cases, a dedicated root forceps can provide the clinician with a more appropriate working interface for controlled grasping of the remaining root structure.

As with all dental extraction instruments, the exact technique and suitability of the forceps depend on the patient’s anatomy, root morphology, accessibility, periodontal condition and the clinical judgment of the qualified dental professional.
