Fig 15 (Harris Lower Molars) – Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

The Fig 15 Harris Lower Molars Dental Extraction Forceps is a professional dental instrument designed for use in lower molar extraction procedures. Following the Harris pattern of American-style extraction forceps, this instrument is intended to assist qualified dental professionals in gripping and removing appropriate mandibular molar teeth during planned dental extractions.

Lower molars commonly have multiple roots and a complex root structure. An appropriately designed extraction forceps can help the clinician establish a suitable grip on the tooth and apply controlled movements during the procedure. The Fig 15 Harris pattern is recognized in dental instrument catalogues as a forceps design for lower molars.

Design and Functional Features

The instrument features a paired beak design intended to engage the crown and suitable anatomical contours of lower molars. Its working ends are designed to support controlled tooth gripping when the instrument is correctly selected and positioned by a trained dental professional.

The handle design provides a surface for manual control, while the overall instrument configuration is intended to support access to the mandibular posterior region. Proper instrument selection, careful technique, and assessment of the tooth’s condition remain essential for safe clinical use.

Applications

Fig 15 Harris Lower Molars Forceps may be used by qualified dental professionals for:

• Extraction of suitable lower molar teeth.
• Selected mandibular first and second molar extraction procedures, according to the instrument’s design and clinical suitability.
• Routine dental extraction procedures in clinics and hospitals.
• Professional dental instrument sets and oral surgery instrument collections.
