Fig 23 Dental Extraction Forceps (Lower Molars)

Product Overview

The Fig 23 Lower Molars Dental Extraction Forceps are specialized dental instruments designed for professional tooth extraction procedures involving mandibular molars. Developed for use in clinical dentistry, this instrument combines a functional beak design with a practical handle structure to help dental professionals maintain control during tooth engagement and extraction.

Lower molars have a distinctive anatomical structure, which can make their extraction technically demanding. Appropriate forceps selection is therefore important for achieving effective tooth engagement and supporting the clinician’s chosen extraction technique. Fig 23 forceps are designed for lower molar applications, with their precise configuration intended to assist with gripping and handling during the procedure.

Design and Construction

These dental extraction forceps feature working beaks designed for engagement with lower molars and handles intended to provide a stable, comfortable grip. The instrument’s overall geometry supports controlled manipulation when used by a trained dental professional.

The quality of the working surfaces, alignment of the beaks, and smooth movement of the joint are important considerations in the manufacture of dental forceps. Properly maintained instruments can support consistent handling and reliable performance in professional dental settings.

Note: Confirm the exact beak geometry, material grade, finish, and joint specifications against your manufacturer’s product information before publishing these details as guaranteed specifications.
