Fig 151 S (Cryer Lower Incisors, Premolars & Roots) – Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

The Fig 151 S Cryer Lower Incisors, Premolars & Roots Forceps is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for use in pediatric dentistry. It belongs to the Cryer pattern of extraction forceps and is intended for the removal of lower primary teeth and suitable root remnants, according to the specific instrument configuration.

This instrument is designed to help dental professionals establish a controlled grip on the tooth during extraction procedures. Its working-end geometry is intended to facilitate access to the lower dental arch, while its handle design supports controlled manipulation by a trained dental practitioner.

The Fig 151 S is commonly identified as a children’s version of the Cryer Fig. 151 forceps. It is therefore important to distinguish it from the standard adult Fig. 151 model when selecting instruments for a dental practice.

Design and Construction

The forceps feature a functional combination of working ends, a hinged joint, and handles designed for manual control. The compact pediatric configuration is intended to support access to the smaller oral anatomy encountered during primary-tooth extraction.

Depending on the manufacturer, the instrument may be supplied in a polished stainless-steel finish. Material grade, handle dimensions, jaw configuration, and surface finish should be verified against the selected manufacturer’s specifications before publication or purchase.

Applications and Clinical Uses

The Fig 151 S Cryer Forceps may be used by qualified dental professionals for appropriate pediatric extraction procedures involving lower primary teeth and suitable roots.

Potential applications include:

• Extraction of indicated lower primary incisors.
• Removal of suitable lower primary teeth when clinically indicated.
• Extraction of appropriate retained root fragments.
• Pediatric dental procedures requiring a compatible lower-jaw extraction forceps.
• Use in dental clinics, pediatric dentistry departments, and hospital dental units.

The choice of instrument depends on the patient’s dental anatomy, the condition of the tooth, and the clinical assessment of the practitioner.

Material and Quality

Dental extraction forceps are commonly manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to support durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated reprocessing. However, the precise steel grade and manufacturing standard for Fig 151 S must be confirmed with the supplier.

For professional use, the instrument should be inspected for joint movement, working-end alignment, surface integrity, and any signs of wear or damage before each procedure.

Handling and Maintenance

To maintain instrument performance and support patient safety:

1. Inspect the forceps before use for damage, corrosion, or joint irregularities.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and decontamination.
3. Use only validated sterilization procedures appropriate to the instrument.
4. Allow the instrument to dry and store it in a clean, suitable environment.
5. Remove damaged or malfunctioning instruments from service.

The instrument should be used only by trained dental professionals following appropriate clinical protocols.
