Fig. 146 – Upper and Lower Roots Deep-Gripping Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

The Fig. 146 Upper and Lower Roots Deep-Gripping Dental Extraction Forceps is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for controlled handling and removal of retained, fractured, or deeply positioned tooth-root fragments. Its deep-gripping working profile is intended to provide the clinician with secure engagement of root remnants where conventional extraction forceps may have limited access or insufficient purchase.

This instrument is particularly suitable for professional dental practices, oral surgery departments, dental hospitals, teaching institutions, surgical centers, and dental instrument sets requiring dependable root-extraction instrumentation.

The Fig. 146 pattern is catalogued as a root-fragment, deep-gripping extraction forceps. Product catalogues identify the instrument specifically for deep-gripping root-fragment applications and illustrate it within dental extracting-forceps ranges.

Intended Application

The Fig. 146 is designed for professional dental procedures involving the extraction and controlled manipulation of upper and lower tooth roots or retained root fragments, particularly where the remaining root structure is positioned deeply and requires a specialized gripping approach.

Its configuration is intended to facilitate access to root remnants while providing the operator with a firm and controlled hold during extraction.

Deep-Gripping Working Design

One of the principal characteristics of Fig. 146 is its deep-gripping working configuration. Root fragments can sometimes remain below the normal level of the surrounding crown structure, particularly following crown fracture, previous extraction attempts, extensive caries, trauma, or other clinical circumstances.

The deep-gripping pattern is intended to allow the working ends to reach and engage the available root structure more effectively. This can provide the clinician with a more secure point of purchase compared with a conventional forceps intended primarily for intact crowns.

The instrument should always be selected according to the patient’s anatomy, the location and condition of the remaining root, and the clinician’s preferred extraction technique.
