Fig. 151 SK – Lower Incisors, Premolars & Roots Extracting Forceps

Product Overview

The Fig. 151 SK Lower Incisors, Premolars & Roots Extracting Forceps is a precision dental extraction instrument designed for controlled handling of lower anterior teeth, premolars, and suitable root structures during dental extraction procedures. The instrument follows the established 151 SK / Kinder-style forceps pattern, characterized by its compact form and purpose-oriented working end. Dental instrument catalogs commonly identify Fig. 151 SK for lower incisors, bicuspids/premolars, teeth, and roots, making it a useful instrument within dental extraction and pediatric dentistry instrument sets.

The compact construction of the 151 SK pattern allows the dental professional to maintain effective instrument control while working in the lower arch. The design is particularly associated with pediatric dental instruments, where appropriately proportioned instruments can provide improved handling and help accommodate the smaller oral cavity of younger patients. KLS Martin lists Fig. 151 SK among its American-pattern extraction forceps for children and describes it as a universal instrument for teeth and roots.
