Long Product Description

The Fig. 69 T.C. Carbide Serrated Beak Extraction Forceps is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for the controlled handling and removal of upper and lower tooth fragments and retained roots. This forceps features precisely engineered serrated tungsten carbide inserts on the working surfaces of the beaks, providing a secure and dependable grip when conventional smooth beaks may have difficulty maintaining contact with small, tapered, fractured, or partially exposed tooth structures.

The Fig. 69 T.C. is particularly suited to situations where a tooth crown has fractured during extraction or where only a remaining root or fragment is available for engagement. Its specialized beak geometry is intended to provide controlled contact with the remaining dental structure while allowing the clinician to maintain precise instrument positioning throughout the extraction procedure.

The tungsten carbide serrated surfaces are an important feature of this instrument. The serrations are designed to improve mechanical engagement with the tooth surface, while the carbide inserts provide a durable working interface for repeated professional use when the instrument is properly maintained. Current dental catalogs identify Fig. 69 TC specifically for upper and lower fragments and roots and describe it as a carbide-serrated-beak extraction forceps.

Precision Beak Design

The working beaks of the Fig. 69 T.C. are designed for situations in which limited tooth structure remains available for grasping. Rather than relying solely on broad contact with an intact crown, the specialized serrated configuration helps the operator establish controlled contact with smaller dental remnants.

The carefully formed beaks allow the instrument to be positioned around suitable remaining tooth structure, making the Fig. 69 T.C. a practical addition to extraction instrument sets intended for difficult or fragment-related cases.

Tungsten Carbide Serrated Inserts

One of the defining characteristics of the Fig. 69 T.C. is its tungsten carbide serrated beak inserts. Tungsten carbide is commonly incorporated into specialized dental extraction forceps where enhanced surface durability and gripping characteristics are desired.

The serrated inner surfaces are designed to provide increased mechanical purchase on suitable tooth and root surfaces. This can be particularly useful when working with fractured crowns, retained roots, root fragments, and other limited-contact extraction situations.

Because the carbide inserts are precision working components, appropriate cleaning, inspection, handling, and sterilization practices are essential for maintaining the instrument’s performance and service life.

Upper and Lower Root & Fragment Applications

The Fig. 69 T.C. is intended as a versatile instrument for both upper and lower fragments and roots. This universal application makes it useful for dental practices and surgical instrument trays where a dedicated instrument is required for the management of residual tooth structures across different areas of the mouth.

Its application may include appropriate cases involving:

• Retained tooth roots
• Fractured tooth roots
• Remaining root fragments
• Broken tooth fragments
• Residual dental structures following crown fracture
• Small portions of tooth structure requiring controlled engagement
• Upper dental root and fragment cases
• Lower dental root and fragment cases
• Difficult extraction situations where suitable tooth structure remains accessible
