Fig 151 T.C. Carbide Serrated Beak Lower Incisors, Cuspids, Bicuspids & Roots Universal

Long Product Description

The Fig 151 T.C. Carbide Serrated Beak Lower Incisors, Cuspids, Bicuspids & Roots Universal is a versatile dental extraction forceps developed for professional dental procedures involving the removal of lower incisors, cuspids, bicuspids, and roots. This universal-pattern instrument combines a carefully designed beak configuration with carbide serrated gripping surfaces to provide a firm and controlled hold on the tooth during extraction.

Designed for use in general dentistry and oral surgery environments, the Fig 151 T.C. is particularly useful when dependable engagement of the tooth structure is required. The serrated beaks are designed to help maintain contact with the tooth while the clinician performs controlled extraction movements. The instrument’s universal configuration allows it to be used across multiple mandibular tooth categories, reducing the need to select a separate forceps for every individual lower tooth.

The carbide serrated beak construction is a defining feature of this pattern. Carbide inserts are commonly incorporated into dental instruments where a durable gripping surface is desired. The serrated profile provides multiple contact points against the tooth, helping the operator establish a secure grip before applying the appropriate clinical extraction technique.

The Fig 151 T.C. is suitable for use with lower incisors, lower cuspids, lower bicuspids, and dental roots. Its universal design makes it a practical addition to extraction instrument sets used in dental clinics, oral surgery departments, dental hospitals, teaching institutions, and professional dental practices.

The instrument is designed to support precise handling and controlled manipulation. Its forceps-style construction allows the operator to maintain the tooth securely while performing the appropriate rotational, rocking, or traction movements according to the anatomy of the tooth and the clinician’s established extraction technique. Actual clinical technique should always be selected according to the patient’s anatomy, tooth condition, periodontal status, radiographic findings, and professional judgment.

The Fig 151 T.C. Universal Dental Forceps is also appropriate for instrument collections that require versatile extraction solutions. Rather than being limited to a single tooth type, its indicated application covers several lower tooth categories. This makes it especially useful for general extraction trays and comprehensive dental surgical instrument sets.

The ergonomic form of a quality extraction forceps is intended to facilitate comfortable handling and controlled application of force. The operator can position the beaks around the appropriate portion of the tooth and establish stable contact before beginning the extraction procedure. The carbide serrated working surfaces are intended to assist with maintaining a dependable grip throughout the procedure when properly positioned.

As with all dental extraction instruments, appropriate cleaning, decontamination, sterilization, inspection, lubrication where applicable, and maintenance should be performed according to the instrument manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s infection-control procedures. Instruments should be inspected regularly for wear, damage, alignment, surface defects, or deterioration before clinical use.

With its universal mandibular application, carbide serrated beaks, and suitability for lower incisors, cuspids, bicuspids, and roots, the Fig 151 T.C. represents a versatile option for professional dental extraction instrument sets. It is suitable for dental professionals looking for a dedicated forceps pattern capable of supporting a broad range of lower-tooth extraction procedures.
