Fig. 99SK – Upper Incisors, Canines & Premolars Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

The Fig. 99SK Upper Incisors, Canines & Premolars Extraction Forceps is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for controlled removal of selected teeth in the maxillary anterior and premolar region. Its application range includes upper incisors, upper canines, and upper premolars, making it a versatile addition to a professional dental extraction instrument set.

The Fig. 99SK pattern is designed around the anatomical requirements of upper anterior and premolar teeth. The working ends are intended to provide secure engagement around the tooth while allowing the dental professional to maintain controlled handling during extraction procedures. Its practical configuration makes it suitable for routine clinical use where an appropriately matched upper extraction forceps is required.

Dental extraction forceps are designed in different patterns according to tooth morphology, location, and access requirements. The Fig. 99 family is recognized as an American-pattern forceps for upper anterior and premolar applications, with comparable catalogues identifying the 99-series with upper incisors, canines, and premolars.

Instrument Type

Dental Extraction Forceps – American Pattern

Intended Application

The Fig. 99SK is intended for professional dental use in extraction procedures involving:

• Upper central incisors
• Upper lateral incisors
• Upper canines
• Upper premolars
• Selected maxillary anterior teeth
• Selected maxillary premolar teeth

The instrument should be selected according to the individual tooth anatomy, clinical condition, accessibility, and the dental professional’s preferred extraction technique.

Design and Functional Characteristics

The Fig. 99SK is designed to provide a practical combination of access, tooth engagement, and controlled manipulation for the maxillary anterior-to-premolar region. Its working geometry is intended to accommodate the contours encountered in upper incisors, canines, and premolars.

The forceps configuration allows the operator to position the beaks appropriately around the tooth before applying controlled extraction movements. Proper positioning is essential for minimizing unnecessary trauma and maintaining appropriate control throughout the procedure.

For upper anterior and premolar extraction, forceps geometry is particularly important because the teeth differ considerably in crown shape, root configuration, and position within the maxillary arch. A properly selected instrument can help provide appropriate contact and access for the intended tooth.
