The Fig. 7 upper premolars forceps is a dental instrument specifically designed for the removal of upper premolar teeth. Its unique features and precise design make it a valuable tool for dentists, ensuring safe and effective extractions.
Key Features:
- Anatomically shaped handles: Featuring finger grips or serrations, the handles provide a secure and comfortable hold, minimizing hand fatigue during procedures.
- Sharp beaks: The beaks are precisely contoured to closely adapt to the anatomy of upper premolar teeth, allowing for controlled grasping and leverage during extraction.
- Serrated beaks: Some forceps have serrated beaks for enhanced grip, especially on smooth-surfaced teeth or when dealing with root fractures.
- Strong blades: The blades are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to bending or breaking under pressure.
- Concave inner surfaces: The inner surfaces of the blades often feature a concave design to better cradle the tooth and distribute pressure evenly, minimizing the risk of root fractures.
Uses:
- Extraction of upper first and second premolar teeth: The Fig. 7 forceps is primarily used for removing upper premolars, both on the right and left sides of the jaw.
- Sectioning of multi-rooted teeth: In some cases, the forceps can be used to section multi-rooted premolars before extraction to facilitate the process.
- Elevating tooth fragments:Â The beaks can be used to grasp and remove small tooth fragments left behind after the main extraction.
