Fig 30 S – Upper Teeth for Children (American Pattern Extraction Forceps)

Overview

The Fig 30 S Upper Teeth for Children is an American Pattern dental extraction forceps designed for pediatric dental procedures involving selected upper teeth. Its smaller-pattern design is intended to support access and handling when working in the limited space of a child’s mouth.

Pediatric extraction instruments are selected according to the tooth being treated, its anatomy, the patient’s age and dental development, and the clinician’s treatment plan. The Fig 30 S is an option for professional dental practices seeking a dedicated children’s extraction instrument rather than relying exclusively on full-size adult patterns.

Design and Construction

This instrument follows the American Pattern designation for Fig 30 S pediatric extraction forceps. The handle and working ends are intended to provide the clinician with a functional grip and controlled instrument positioning during an extraction procedure.

The exact construction material, beak dimensions, surface finish, and sterilization compatibility should be verified against the manufacturer’s specifications for the particular model supplied.

Applications

The Fig 30 S may be considered for selected upper-teeth extraction procedures in pediatric dentistry, subject to confirmation of its precise working-end design and intended tooth indications.

• Pediatric dental clinics
• General dental practices treating children

The treating dentist must verify that the instrument is appropriate for the specific tooth and clinical situation before use.

Benefits for Dental Professionals

A dedicated pediatric instrument can help clinicians select a forceps pattern appropriate to a child’s oral anatomy. The Fig 30 S designation helps identify the required instrument within a dental instrument inventory, making product selection, storage, and replenishment more organized.

When correctly matched to the tooth and procedure, a suitable extraction forceps can support controlled engagement and handling. Clinical outcomes also depend on the patient’s anatomy, tooth condition, professional technique, and the overall treatment plan.
