Fig. 146 – Deep Gripping Root Forceps

Product Overview

Fig. 146 Deep Gripping Root Forceps is a precision dental extraction instrument designed for controlled handling and removal of lower tooth roots and root remnants during dental extraction procedures. The instrument belongs to the specialized category of deep-gripping root forceps, where the working jaws are designed to provide access to and secure engagement with root structures that may be positioned deeper within the extraction site.

The Fig. 146 pattern is identified in professional dental instrument catalogues as a deep-gripping root forceps for lower roots. It is manufactured for professional dental applications where controlled grasping, secure retention, and accurate manipulation of root portions are important considerations during extraction procedures. The instrument is particularly suited to situations in which conventional extraction forceps may not provide the required access or gripping capability.

Its elongated working configuration and purpose-designed jaws allow the dental professional to approach lower-root structures with greater control while maintaining a firm and stable grip. The instrument is intended for use by qualified dental professionals and should be selected according to the clinical requirements of the individual procedure.

HLW catalogues identify the Standard configuration as Ref. 11-146 and the Anatomical configuration as Ref. 12-146.

Detailed Description

The Fig. 146 Deep Gripping Root Forceps is developed to provide dental practitioners with a specialized solution for the controlled extraction and manipulation of lower-root structures. Root extraction can present particular challenges when only a limited portion of the root remains accessible or when the root lies deeper within the socket. In such circumstances, a dedicated deep-gripping forceps can provide the working access and secure engagement required for controlled instrument manipulation.

The working ends of the Fig. 146 are designed for deep engagement around suitable lower-root structures. The configuration enables the operator to position the jaws carefully around the accessible root portion before applying controlled extraction forces. This design makes the instrument appropriate for professional dental practices requiring dedicated instruments for root extraction procedures.

The forceps is intended to complement a comprehensive dental extraction instrument set and can be particularly useful when a specialized root-gripping pattern is required. Its design supports controlled handling rather than relying solely on conventional crown-gripping extraction techniques.

The Fig. 146 designation is specifically associated with lower roots in the deep-gripping root forceps category in HLW’s professional instrument catalogue.

Key Features

1. Deep-Gripping Design

The Fig. 146 features a specialized deep-gripping configuration intended for professional handling of lower-root structures. The design allows the operator to work closer to the accessible root portion when appropriate.

2. Lower Root Application

This pattern is specifically categorized for lower roots, making it a specialized addition to dental extraction instrument sets.

3. Controlled Root Engagement

The working jaws are designed to facilitate secure engagement with an appropriate root structure, helping the clinician maintain controlled instrument positioning during extraction.

4. Professional Dental Instrument

Fig. 146 is intended for use in professional dental environments, including dental clinics, oral surgery practices, dental hospitals, and other suitably equipped healthcare facilities.

5. Precision-Oriented Construction

A properly manufactured root forceps should provide accurately aligned working components and smooth mechanical action to support consistent professional handling.

6. Ergonomic Handle Options

The Fig. 146 pattern is catalogued with Standard and Anatomical handle configurations, allowing instrument selection according to the preferred handling characteristics and manufacturer specification.

7. Reusable Instrument Configuration

Professional dental forceps are generally designed for repeated clinical use when manufactured from appropriate medical-grade materials and processed according to the manufacturer’s cleaning, sterilization, inspection, and maintenance instructions.
