Fig. 351S – Very Thin Upper Roots Extraction Forceps

Product Overview

Fig. 351S – Very Thin Upper Roots Extraction Forceps is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed for the controlled management and removal of very thin upper tooth roots and delicate upper root fragments. Its specialized design provides clinicians with a practical instrument for situations where conventional extraction forceps may be too large or insufficiently delicate for the remaining root structure.

Fig. 351S is commonly identified in dental instrument catalogues as an English-pattern extraction forceps for very thin upper roots. It is also described as a compact or miniaturized upper root-tip forceps related to the 51 LX design, making it particularly suitable for delicate root-removal applications where precision and controlled handling are important.

The instrument is intended for use by qualified dental professionals during tooth extraction procedures and related root-fragment management. Its specialized working end is designed to provide access to small and delicate upper-root structures while allowing the operator to maintain controlled instrument positioning.

Whether used in routine oral surgery, difficult extraction cases, or procedures involving retained and fractured upper root portions, the Fig. 351S Very Thin Upper Roots Forceps is a useful addition to a professional dental extraction instrument set.

Category: Dental Extraction Instruments
Primary Use: Controlled extraction and handling of very thin upper roots and delicate root remnants

Dental catalogues specifically list Fig. 351S under extraction forceps for very thin upper roots, distinguishing it from instruments intended for lower roots, general upper roots, or larger tooth structures.

Detailed Product Description

The Fig. 351S Very Thin Upper Roots Extraction Forceps is developed for dental professionals who require a more delicate instrument for managing thin and difficult-to-grasp upper root structures.

During dental extraction procedures, the remaining root structure can sometimes be extremely narrow, fractured, deeply positioned, or difficult to engage with a conventional extraction forceps. In such situations, an instrument with a more specialized working profile can provide improved access and controlled handling.

The Fig. 351S addresses this requirement with a design specifically associated with very thin upper roots. Its working configuration is intended to facilitate engagement of delicate root structures while helping the clinician maintain appropriate control during the extraction procedure.

The forceps can be particularly useful when dealing with small residual root portions where a larger extraction instrument may not provide the desired access or precision. Its specialized design makes it an appropriate choice for dental practices, oral surgery departments, dental hospitals, teaching institutions, and professional dental instrument sets.

Key Features

1. Designed for Very Thin Upper Roots

The primary distinguishing feature of the Fig. 351S is its intended application for very thin upper roots. Catalog references specifically identify this model for very fine upper-root extraction applications.

2. Specialized Root-Gripping Design

The instrument is designed around the requirements of delicate root handling, providing a specialized working configuration intended to engage small upper-root structures.

3. Compact Profile

Fig. 351S is described in dental-instrument references as a miniaturized version associated with the 51 LX upper root-tip forceps design. This compact configuration is useful where a smaller working profile is preferred.

4. Controlled Instrument Handling

The design supports controlled positioning and manipulation during extraction procedures. Proper clinical technique and appropriate case selection remain essential for safe use.

5. Suitable for Professional Dental Procedures

The Fig. 351S is intended for use by trained dental professionals in clinical extraction and root-management procedures.

6. Useful for Delicate Root Structures

Its specialized application makes it particularly relevant when the remaining upper root is thin or otherwise difficult to engage using a more conventional extraction forceps.
