American Pattern Extracting Forceps for Lower Molars with Cow Horn Beak - Figure 23
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our American Pattern Extracting Forceps for Lower Molars with Cow Horn Beak – Figure 23 are precision dental extraction instruments designed for efficient removal of lower molars. Featuring a unique cow horn-shaped beak, these forceps provide enhanced grip and leverage, allowing for the gentle extraction of mandibular molars, including those with divergent roots. Their robust design ensures secure tooth engagement, minimizing trauma to surrounding bone and soft tissues.
- Cow Horn Beak for Secure Engagement: The cow horn beak is designed with precisely angled points to engage the bifurcation of mandibular molars, providing a secure purchase for extraction. It was introduced to provide better mechanical advantage in lower molar extractions, particularly in cases where traditional forceps struggle to gain adequate grip on the crown.
- Strong, Ergonomic Handles: The contoured handles provide a comfortable, non-slip grip, reducing hand fatigue and allowing for greater control during extractions.
- Powerful Leverage Mechanism: Designed to utilize a natural wedge effect, these forceps help separate and elevate the tooth efficiently, often reducing the need for additional luxation.
- Optimized for Mandibular Molars: Specifically designed for extracting lower first and second molars, particularly those with strong bifurcated roots.
Applications:
- Mandibular Molar Extractions: Used to extract lower molars, particularly those with deeply set or strong root structures.
- Efficient Removal of Multi-Rooted Teeth: The cow horn beak design allows for penetration into the furcation, making it easier to elevate and remove stubborn or ankylosed molars.
- Gentle Extraction Technique: Helps preserve alveolar bone integrity, making it ideal for tooth extractions before implant placement or prosthetic restoration.
- Oral Surgery and General Dentistry: A fundamental instrument in tooth extractions performed by oral surgeons, general dentists, and periodontists.
These forceps are also known as Cow Horn Forceps for Lower Molars, Mandibular Cow Horn Forceps, Lower Molar Extraction Forceps – Figure 23, and American Pattern Lower Molar Forceps.
