165 MM Witzel Lower Roots, Universal Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

The 165 MM Witzel Lower Roots, Universal Dental Extraction Forceps is a precision dental extraction instrument designed for controlled removal and manipulation of lower tooth roots and retained root fragments during routine and surgical dental procedures. The Witzel pattern is recognized as a specialized root extraction forceps design intended to provide access, controlled gripping, and effective handling of root structures in the mandibular region.

With an overall length of approximately 165 mm, this instrument provides a practical combination of working reach, hand control, and access for dental professionals performing root extraction procedures. Its universal lower-root configuration makes it suitable for use across a range of mandibular root extraction applications rather than being restricted to a single tooth position.

The instrument is particularly useful when the remaining root structure is difficult to access with conventional extraction forceps. Its slender working profile and carefully formed beaks are intended to facilitate engagement around the accessible portion of the root while allowing the operator to maintain controlled movements during extraction.

Detailed Product Description

The Witzel Lower Roots, Universal Forceps 165 mm is developed for dental practitioners who require a dedicated instrument for the controlled extraction of lower roots. Root extraction can require considerably more precision than routine crown extraction because fractured, retained, or deeply positioned roots may provide limited surface area for secure engagement.

The Witzel design provides a specialized working geometry intended to help the operator approach lower-root structures while maintaining a firm and controlled grip. The universal configuration allows the instrument to be used for a variety of lower-root extraction situations, making it a useful addition to a professional dental extraction instrument set.

The 165 mm overall length offers a balanced working distance between the operator’s hand and the active tips. This can be advantageous when access and visibility must be maintained while manipulating a root fragment within the oral cavity.
