Orthodontic Extracting Forceps Lower Roots

Orthodontic Extracting Forceps Lower Roots (Fig. 68)

Orthodontic Extracting Forceps for Lower Roots (Fig. 68) are dental instruments that are specifically designed to facilitate the removal of the lower tooth roots with accuracy and precision. They are commonly used in orthodontics or dental surgical procedures; these forceps offer secure control and stability, which makes them vital tools for efficient and safe root extraction.

Purpose and Clinical Application

The primary goal of extraction forceps for the lower root is to effectively grab and remove any remaining or broken root structures in the jaw's lower region. Lower root extractions usually require specially-designed instruments because of restricted access, the dense bone structure, and the morphology of the root. These forceps are specifically designed to tackle these challenges, allowing doctors to extract with confidence and precision.

Lower Roots Design - Fig. 68

The design is based on Fig. 68. These forceps have a jaw design that is specifically designed for the anatomical lower roots. The design and jaw angle allow maximum reach to the molar area, increasing the visibility and control of extraction. This design is specifically designed to reduce the requirement for excessive force and minimise trauma to the adjacent tissues.

Serrated Tips for Secure Grip

One of the main features of these forceps is the sharp tips that offer a secure and non-slip grip to teeth's roots. The serrations increase the traction, stopping the extraction from sliding and providing constant control throughout the process. This grip is particularly crucial when dealing with tiny and brittle pieces or infiltrated root fragments.

High-Quality Stainless Steel Construction

Forceps used for extracting lower roots are constructed from stainless steel that is medical grade, which ensures durability, corrosion resistance and longevity for a long time. The stainless steel construction allows the forceps to be used for repeated sterilisation cycles without compromising their performance. The polished finish facilitates ease of cleaning and helps maintain high hygiene standards for dental practices.

Ergonomic Handle for Comfort and Control

The forceps come with their own well-designed handle that offers comfort and leverage. This design helps reduce hand fatigue and increases control when extracting, allowing surgeons to apply a steady, exact pressure. The improved ergonomics lead to safer procedures and more effective outcomes.

Versatility in Orthodontic Practice

They are commonly used in general and orthodontic techniques for extractions of lower roots, which include cases of broken dental teeth or even residual roots. Their unique design allows them to be used for routine as well as complex extractions.

Maintenance and Sterilisation

Made of stainless steel, the forceps are easy to wash and fully autoclavable to ensure the compliance of standards for infection control and long-term stability.

Conclusion

Orthodontic Extracting Forceps for Lower Roots (Fig. 68) are vital instruments to ensure secure and precise root extraction. With serrated tips and specialised low root designs, ergonomically-designed handling and a sturdy stainless-steel construction, they provide security, accuracy and efficiency. They are an excellent option for dental and orthodontic surgical procedures.
