Serrated Beak Atraumatic Extracting Forceps

Description

Serrated Beak Atraumatic Extracting Forceps

Our serrated beak atraumatic forceps help you remove a tooth while you protect the socket walls. The serrations bite into root surface, so the grip holds with less squeeze. Keeping those walls intact helps when an implant or ridge graft follows the extraction.

Six designs in one listing

• Upper and Lower: general designs for each arch.
• Fig. 150AS: upper anteriors, with split serrated beaks.
• Fig. 151AS: lower anteriors, with split serrated beaks.
• Fig. 23: a cow horn for lower molars.
• Wrap-around, right angle: a right-angle forceps with a wrap-around beak.

Each option is a single forceps. So you can start with the anterior pair and add a molar design later.

How the split beaks and cow horn differ

On these serrated beak atraumatic forceps, the split beaks of 150AS and 151AS grip a narrow anterior root at more than one point. In contrast, the cow horn on Fig. 23 has two pointed beaks. These enter the bifurcation of a lower molar from the buccal and lingual sides. Then, as you squeeze, the points lift the tooth up from the furcation.

An atraumatic workflow

First, cut the gingival attachment with a fine blade. Next, loosen the tooth with a thin elevator or periotome. Then seat the serrated beaks low on the root, never on enamel. Finally, use slow, small movements rather than big buccal swings. In practice, patience saves more bone than force does.

Care for the serrations

Debris can sit in the grooves. Therefore, brush the beaks with a small nylon brush soon after use. Also, check the teeth of the serrations under light each time. If they look flat or bent, stop using that forceps.

Quality, cover and related items

We set the design, and a staff member examines each atraumatic forceps in the United States. For the body we chose stainless covered by ASTM F899. You receive three years against manufacturing defects whichever of the six designs you order. Explore more tooth extraction forceps in the range. For carbide grip inserts, see the T.C. serrated beak forceps. Ordering questions get replies on our FAQ section. These forceps come non-sterile and are ready for many cases after each cleaning and sterilization.
