Fig 35 (Upper Roots) Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

Fig 35 Upper Roots Dental Extraction Forceps are specialized dental instruments intended to assist qualified dental professionals during the removal of upper tooth roots and selected retained root fragments. Root extraction requires careful instrument selection, appropriate access, and controlled application of force. This instrument is designed to support these requirements when its beak configuration and dimensions are appropriate for the clinical case.

The forceps feature a two-handle construction connected by a joint mechanism, with working beaks designed to engage the root structure. The handles provide a surface for controlled manual operation, while the working ends allow the clinician to position the instrument around an accessible root. Exact beak geometry, dimensions, finish, and handle configuration should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s product specifications.

Design and Construction

The Fig 35 Upper Roots Forceps are intended for professional dental use. Their working-end design supports engagement with suitable upper-root structures, while the handle arrangement assists the operator in maintaining a secure grip and controlling instrument movement.

The instrument should be manufactured from materials suitable for its intended clinical use and compatible with the manufacturer’s validated reprocessing instructions. Material grade, surface finish, overall length, and other technical specifications should be confirmed with the supplier before publication or purchase.
