Fig 210 S (Upper Third Molars) – Dental Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

The Fig 210 S Upper Third Molars Extraction Forceps are specialized dental extraction instruments developed for use during the removal of upper third molars, also known as maxillary wisdom teeth. These teeth are located at the back of the upper dental arch, where access can be limited by the cheek and surrounding oral structures. The instrument’s specialized geometry is intended to help clinicians reach this posterior area and obtain a controlled grip on the tooth during extraction.

Designed according to the American pattern, Fig 210 S forceps feature an offset beak configuration adapted to the anatomy and location of upper third molars. The working ends are shaped to engage the tooth appropriately when used by a trained dental professional. The instrument’s handle and joint design support controlled application of force during the extraction procedure.

Design and Construction

The Fig 210 S is manufactured for professional dental use, with stainless steel commonly used for this type of reusable dental instrument. The material offers durability and supports appropriate cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization when the instrument is manufactured and validated for those processes.

The carefully designed beaks provide access to the posterior maxillary region, while the handles offer a practical gripping surface for controlled manipulation. The instrument’s construction is intended to withstand routine professional handling and repeated reprocessing according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: Exact steel grade, finish, joint construction, and sterilization compatibility should be confirmed against the specifications of the selected manufacturer.

Key Features

• Specialized upper third molar design: Intended for extracting maxillary wisdom teeth.
• American-pattern configuration: Suitable for dental instrument ranges following this pattern.
• Offset working ends: Help provide access to the posterior upper jaw.
• Functional gripping design: Supports controlled engagement of the tooth during extraction.
• Durable construction: Stainless steel is commonly used for strength and repeated professional use.
• Reusable instrument option: Reuse is subject to manufacturer instructions and validated reprocessing procedures.
• Professional application: Intended for trained dentists and qualified oral healthcare professionals.

Clinical Applications

Fig 210 S Extraction Forceps may be selected by qualified dental professionals for appropriate upper third molar extraction procedures, depending on the tooth’s position, condition, accessibility, and root anatomy.

Potential applications include:

• Extraction of suitable erupted upper wisdom teeth.
• Removal of upper third molars when clinically indicated.
• Use in dental clinics and oral surgery settings.
• Inclusion in professional dental extraction instrument sets.

The appropriate instrument and extraction technique must be selected following clinical examination. Partially erupted, impacted, fractured, or unusually positioned wisdom teeth may require a different instrument or surgical approach.

Benefits for Dental Professionals

The specialized shape of the Fig 210 S is intended to improve access to upper third molars compared with using an instrument designed for a different tooth group. Its purpose-specific design can support practical handling during suitable extraction procedures.

When correctly selected and used, the instrument can help clinicians maintain a controlled grip and apply appropriate extraction movements. Proper technique, adequate visibility, patient assessment, and adherence to clinical protocols remain essential for safe dental treatment.

Cleaning, Maintenance and Sterilization

For reusable instruments, proper reprocessing is essential to maintain hygiene, function, and service life.

1. Remove visible debris promptly after use according to the instrument’s instructions for use.
2. Clean the instrument using a validated manual or automated method compatible with its materials.
3. Inspect the beaks, joint, handles, and working surfaces for wear, damage, corrosion, or restricted movement.
4. Rinse and dry thoroughly where required by the validated cleaning procedure.
5. Package and sterilize using the manufacturer’s validated method and the healthcare facility’s infection-control protocol.
6. Store the processed instrument in a clean, dry environment.

Do not use a damaged instrument. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, lubrication, sterilization, inspection, and maintenance.

Product Quality and Handling

Professional dental extraction instruments should be inspected before each use to confirm that the beaks align correctly, the joint operates smoothly, and the gripping surfaces are free from damage. Buyers should verify material grade, manufacturing quality, applicable regulatory documentation, and reprocessing compatibility with their supplier.
