Fig 36 – Lower Anterior and Roots Extraction Forceps

Overview

The Fig 36 Lower Anterior and Roots Extraction Forceps is a specialized dental instrument used in tooth extraction procedures involving the lower anterior region of the mandible. Depending on the manufacturer’s pattern, Fig 36 forceps may feature narrow, specially shaped beaks designed to engage lower incisors and their roots. This design helps dental professionals obtain a controlled grip during extraction.

The instrument is intended for professional dental use and is suitable for clinical environments where reliable handling, functional design, and appropriate instrument maintenance are essential. Its working-end geometry supports access to the lower anterior region, while the handle provides the leverage required for controlled instrument manipulation.

Design and Functionality

The Fig 36 pattern is associated with English-pattern extraction forceps for lower anterior teeth. Depending on the specific model, its working ends may be designed to reach around the tooth and engage the crown or root structure. The configuration can help the clinician maintain a stable hold while performing the extraction.

The handle and hinge are designed to transmit controlled force to the working ends. Proper instrument selection and technique are important to minimize unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissues and bone.

Applications

• Extraction of lower anterior teeth, particularly incisors, when indicated.
• Removal of suitable lower anterior root structures, depending on the model.
