Fig 288 Dental Extraction Forceps (Lower Canines and Premolars)

Product overview

The Fig 288 Lower Canines and Premolars Dental Extraction Forceps are specialized dental instruments designed for use during the extraction of lower canine and premolar teeth. Manufactured in the American pattern, these forceps are intended to provide dental professionals with an instrument suited to the anatomical requirements of the mandibular anterior and premolar regions.

Tooth extraction requires an instrument that offers appropriate working-end geometry, reliable handling, and controlled application of force. Fig 288 is identified in dental instrument catalogues specifically for lower canines and premolars, making it a suitable addition to a professional dental extraction instrument range.

Design and construction

The instrument features a functional forceps configuration consisting of handles, a connecting hinge, and working ends designed for its intended tooth group. The overall design supports the operator in positioning the instrument around the tooth and maintaining a controlled grip during clinical use.

The American-pattern configuration makes Fig 288 a useful option for clinics and distributors supplying specialized dental extraction instruments. Actual construction materials, finish, handle texture, dimensions, and joint specifications should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s product details before publication.

Primary applications

Fig 288 is intended for professional dental procedures involving:

• Extraction of lower canine teeth.

• Extraction of lower premolar teeth.

• Routine dental extraction procedures where the instrument’s design is appropriate.

• Use in dental clinics, hospitals, and oral surgery settings by qualified dental professionals.

• Inclusion in dental extraction instrument sets and professional dental supply inventories.

Handling and clinical performance

Appropriate instrument selection is essential for effective dental extraction. The operator should ensure that the working ends are correctly positioned and suited to the tooth being treated. Controlled technique and appropriate clinical assessment help reduce unnecessary stress on the tooth and surrounding tissues.

Fig 288 should be used only for its intended clinical application and by trained dental professionals. The exact grip characteristics and performance depend on the manufacturer’s design, instrument condition, and correct clinical technique.

Quality, cleaning, and sterilization

For professional dental use, the instrument should be inspected before every procedure to ensure that its hinge, working ends, and handles are in suitable condition. Follow the manufacturer’s validated instructions for cleaning, disinfection, lubrication where applicable, packaging, and sterilization.

Do not assume a particular stainless-steel grade, autoclave compatibility, or corrosion-resistance specification unless it is confirmed by the supplier. Proper reprocessing and maintenance are important for preserving instrument function and supporting safe clinical practice.
