Fig. 163 – Children’s Upper Centrals

Pediatric Dental Extraction Forceps

Fig. 163 – Children’s Upper Centrals is a specialized pediatric dental extraction forceps designed for the controlled extraction of upper anterior teeth in children, particularly the upper central incisors. This instrument belongs to the children’s pattern of dental extraction forceps and is manufactured with a compact working profile appropriate for pediatric dental procedures.

The instrument is designed to provide the dental professional with a secure grasp of the tooth while supporting controlled manipulation during extraction procedures. Its pediatric-oriented construction makes it suitable for clinical environments where the smaller dimensions of deciduous and young permanent teeth require appropriately proportioned dental instrumentation.

Professional dental instrument catalogues identify Fig. 163 as a forceps for children’s upper anteriors/upper centrals, distinguishing it from other pediatric forceps intended for lower anteriors, molars, roots, or broader universal applications.

Product Overview

The Fig. 163 Children’s Upper Centrals Forceps is intended for use by qualified dental professionals during pediatric extraction procedures involving suitable upper anterior teeth. The forceps provides a practical combination of a pediatric-sized design, controlled handling, and an application-specific working end.

Its design is particularly relevant to dental practices, pediatric dentistry clinics, oral surgery departments, dental hospitals, teaching institutions, and professional dental instrument sets where dedicated pediatric extraction instruments are required.

The instrument may be supplied as part of a comprehensive range of pediatric extraction forceps, allowing dental professionals to select an appropriately designed instrument according to the location and characteristics of the tooth being treated.

Intended Application

Fig. 163 is primarily associated with:

• Children’s upper central teeth
• Pediatric upper anterior teeth
• Suitable upper incisor extraction procedures
• Pediatric dental extraction procedures
• Clinical removal of appropriately indicated upper anterior teeth

Manufacturer and dental-instrument catalogues consistently list Fig. 163 under pediatric extraction forceps for children’s upper anteriors/centrals.

Pediatric-Oriented Design

Pediatric dentistry requires instruments that are appropriately proportioned for the smaller oral cavity and smaller dental structures encountered in children. Fig. 163 is therefore designed as a dedicated children’s pattern forceps rather than simply using a conventional adult extraction instrument.

A suitably sized pediatric forceps can assist the dental professional in achieving appropriate access and handling during an indicated extraction procedure. The instrument’s compact configuration is intended to complement the anatomical requirements of pediatric dentistry while providing the operator with a practical grip and controlled instrument movement.
