Fig 18 R – Harris Upper Molars Right Dental Extraction Forceps

Overview

The Fig 18 R Harris Upper Molars Right Dental Extraction Forceps is a specialized dental instrument intended for use in upper right molar extraction procedures. Designed for professional dental environments, this forceps pattern is intended to facilitate access to the posterior region of the upper jaw and support the controlled handling of targeted molar teeth during extraction.

Upper molars are located toward the back of the maxillary arch, where access and visibility can be more challenging than in the anterior region. A dedicated right-side molar forceps pattern can help dental professionals approach the intended tooth using an instrument designed for that particular anatomical location. The Fig 18 R pattern is intended for professional use by appropriately trained dental practitioners.

Design and Functionality

The Harris Upper Molars Right forceps features a specialized instrument profile intended for use on the upper right molar region. Its working ends are designed to engage the tooth during extraction, while the handles provide a gripping surface for controlled instrument manipulation.

The design and dimensions of the working ends, joint, and handles should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s specifications for the supplied instrument. Proper instrument selection depends on the tooth’s anatomy, clinical condition, accessibility, and the practitioner’s preferred extraction technique.
