Extracting Forceps #49 Upper Roots Dental Tooth Extraction Surgical Instruments

The Extracting Forceps #49 is a type of dental instrument used for upper root extractions. This tool is specifically designed for difficult extractions of upper molar roots, especially when the tooth is broken or has limited visible structure.

Key Features:

•  Design: The forceps have a curved shape that allows the dentist to access the upper roots with ease, ensuring a secure grip.
•  Jaws: The jaws of the forceps are typically narrow and pointed, designed to fit around the remaining root structure of the tooth.
•  Handle: It usually features a long handle for better leverage, providing the necessary force for extraction.
•  Material: Made of stainless steel, making it durable, rust-resistant, and easy to sterilize.

Usage:

•  Upper Molar Roots: The #49 forceps are ideal for the extraction of upper molar roots when they have been fractured or broken down to the root portion.
•  Surgical Extractions: This tool is often used in cases where a tooth is not fully intact or is embedded deep in the bone.
•  Controlled Force: The instrument gives the dentist more control over the amount of force applied during the extraction process, helping to prevent damage to the surrounding tissue or bone.

In surgical tooth extraction, forceps like the #49 are vital for removing tooth remnants and ensuring the root is extracted carefully and completely, which contributes to a smoother recovery.
