Fig 79N – Lower Third Molars Deep-Gripping Root Forceps

Premium Dental Extraction Instrument for Lower Third Molars

The Fig 79N Lower Third Molars Deep-Gripping Root Forceps is a precision-designed dental extraction instrument developed for controlled handling and removal of lower third molars, commonly referred to as wisdom teeth. Its specialized deep-gripping beak configuration is intended to provide a secure purchase on the tooth structure, particularly when conventional forceps may have difficulty obtaining adequate engagement in the posterior mandibular region.

Fig 79N is part of the deep-gripping pattern of extraction forceps used for lower third molars. Catalog references identify this pattern specifically for lower third molar extraction, while deep-gripping designs commonly incorporate tapered, serrated or cross-serrated working surfaces to improve friction and purchase on the tooth.

The instrument is designed to provide the dental professional with improved control, stability and tactile feedback during extraction procedures. Its working ends are shaped to obtain a firm grip while allowing the operator to apply controlled extraction forces appropriate to the clinical situation.

Product Overview

Lower third molars can present significant challenges during extraction because of their posterior position, limited accessibility, variable crown morphology, root configuration and degree of eruption. The Fig 79N Deep-Gripping Root Forceps addresses these challenges with a working profile intended to facilitate deep engagement and controlled manipulation.

The beaks are designed to approach and engage the tooth as closely as the clinical situation permits. A textured gripping surface can increase friction between the instrument and tooth structure, helping reduce unwanted slippage during controlled luxation and delivery.

This makes Fig 79N particularly suitable for dental practices, oral surgery clinics, dental hospitals, teaching institutions and professional instrument sets where dedicated lower third molar extraction instruments are required.

Deep-Gripping Beak Design

The defining characteristic of the Fig 79N is its deep-gripping working-end configuration.

The beaks are designed to obtain a deeper purchase on available tooth structure rather than relying solely on superficial crown contact. Deep-gripping extraction forceps are commonly characterized by tapered working ends and serrated or cross-serrated gripping surfaces that improve friction and engagement.

This configuration may be particularly useful when extracting lower third molars where access is restricted or where only a limited amount of sound tooth structure is available for engagement.

The carefully formed beaks provide the operator with a controlled interface between the forceps and tooth, supporting deliberate manipulation during the extraction procedure.
