GS-297 – 165 mm Lower Roots Universal Dental Extraction Forceps

2. Long Product Description

The GS-297 165 mm Lower Roots Universal Dental Extraction Forceps is a specialized instrument intended for dental professionals performing extraction procedures involving lower tooth roots and selected retained root portions. Designed for professional dental applications, this forceps provides a dedicated lower-root instrument option for clinical situations in which the remaining root structure can be appropriately accessed and engaged.

The GS-297 model is identified by its product reference, 165 mm overall length, and universal lower-root designation. These specifications help dental professionals, procurement departments, and dental instrument suppliers distinguish the instrument from other root extraction forceps with different dimensions or intended applications.

Specialized Design for Lower Root Extraction

Lower-root extraction may be required when a tooth has fractured, its crown has been substantially damaged, or a root portion remains following an earlier procedure. The choice of instrument depends on the position and shape of the remaining root, the available access, the surrounding anatomical structures, and the clinician’s assessment.

The GS-297 is designated for lower-root applications. Its intended function is to provide a suitable instrument for engaging accessible root structures during appropriate extraction procedures. The working ends should be positioned carefully according to the root anatomy and the manufacturer’s design specifications.

Universal Lower-Root Configuration

The term universal lower roots indicates the instrument’s intended general application to lower-root extraction rather than a pattern limited to one specific tooth. This designation makes it a useful option in a comprehensive dental extraction instrument collection.

Universal does not mean that the instrument is suitable for every lower tooth, root shape, or clinical situation. The treating dental professional must assess whether the working-end geometry and access are appropriate for the individual case.

Practical 165 mm Length

With a specified overall length of 165 mm, the GS-297 provides a clearly defined dimension for instrument selection, product identification, storage, and purchasing.

The overall length is useful when comparing instruments and organizing professional dental sets. Actual working reach, jaw dimensions, tip shape, curvature, and handle configuration should be verified using the manufacturer’s technical information or product photographs before ordering.

Controlled Handling and Instrument Positioning

Successful root extraction requires appropriate instrument selection, careful positioning, and controlled application of force. The GS-297 is intended to support professional handling during lower-root extraction procedures when its design is appropriate for the clinical requirement.

The instrument should be used by trained dental professionals who understand the indications and limitations of root forceps. It should not be used as a substitute for root elevators or specialized surgical instruments when those instruments are more appropriate.

Professional Dental Applications

The GS-297 may be considered for suitable professional procedures involving:

• Extraction of accessible lower tooth roots.
• Removal of selected retained lower-root portions.
• Extraction of root structures following crown fracture when the remaining root can be appropriately engaged.
• Root-focused dental extraction procedures.
• Use in general dental and oral surgery instrument collections.
• Dental hospital and teaching-clinic instrument inventories.

The precise clinical application depends on the individual patient’s anatomy and the treating clinician’s judgment. Deeply retained or surgically inaccessible root fragments may require surgical exposure or a different extraction technique.

Suitable for Dental Clinics and Instrument Suppliers

The GS-297 is suitable for inclusion in professional dental instrument catalogs serving dental clinics, hospitals, oral surgery departments, teaching institutions, and dental instrument distributors.

Its product reference and 165 mm length provide practical identification details for stock management, product comparisons, and repeat ordering. It can be cataloged alongside upper-root forceps, lower-molar forceps, root elevators, and other instruments used in dental extraction procedures.

Instrument Care and Maintenance

Proper instrument maintenance is essential for safe clinical use and dependable performance. Before use, inspect the working ends, gripping surfaces, handles, and joint mechanism, where applicable, for signs of wear, deformation, corrosion, or damage.

Reusable instruments must be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s infection-prevention protocols. The instrument’s material grade, surface finish, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with specific sterilization cycles should be confirmed with the supplier.

A Practical Addition to a Professional Dental Set

A well-organized extraction set includes instruments selected for different tooth locations and root configurations. The GS-297 provides a specifically identified lower-root option that can complement other dental extraction instruments.

Its universal lower-root designation and 165 mm overall length make it easier to identify in purchasing records and online product catalogs. When the model’s exact construction and specifications have been confirmed, it can be listed as part of a professional dental instrument range.
