Fig. 104 – Upper Roots (Upper Premolars and Roots) Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

The Fig. 104 Upper Roots / Upper Premolars and Roots Dental Extraction Forceps is a precision dental extraction instrument designed for controlled handling and removal of selected maxillary premolars, retained roots, and root fragments during dental extraction procedures. Its specialized working-end geometry is intended to provide secure engagement around the accessible portion of the tooth or root while allowing the dental professional to maintain controlled instrument positioning throughout the procedure.

Extraction forceps are designed with working ends that correspond to particular tooth regions and anatomical contours. Properly selected forceps can assist the clinician in obtaining an appropriate purchase on the tooth while transmitting controlled hand pressure through the instrument.

The Fig. 104 configuration is particularly suitable for dental practices, oral surgery departments, dental clinics, teaching institutions, and professional dental instrument sets where reliable instruments for upper premolar and upper-root extraction applications are required.

Design and Construction

The instrument is designed with a carefully formed working end and ergonomic handles to facilitate controlled manipulation during dental extraction procedures. The jaws are intended to approach and engage the accessible tooth structure or root surface in a manner appropriate to the clinical situation.

The overall construction is intended to provide the combination of:

• Controlled handling
• Secure instrument grip
• Accurate working-end positioning
• Appropriate access to upper tooth structures
• Mechanical strength for routine professional use
• Smooth instrument manipulation
• Compatibility with standard dental sterilization procedures when manufactured from an appropriate autoclavable surgical material
• The working geometry of extraction forceps is an important factor in their clinical application because the beaks must correspond appropriately to the tooth structure being engaged. Dental extraction-forceps catalogs commonly classify instruments according to anatomical application, including upper premolars and upper roots.
