Dental forceps Fig#: 86C Lower Molar Cow Horns

Introducing Dental Forceps Fig#: 86C

The Dental Forceps Fig#: 86C is specifically crafted for the extraction of lower molars, particularly those with complex roots. This instrument is often referred to as "Cow Horns" due to its unique shape which resembles the horns of a cow. The design allows for secure gripping and leverage needed to extract the tooth without causing unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissues.

Key Features

1. Ergonomic Design: The Fig#: 86C is designed for ergonomic handling, providing a comfortable grip for the clinician. This design feature reduces hand fatigue during prolonged procedures.

2. Optimal Angles: The angulation of the forceps is tailored to provide optimal access to the lower molars, allowing dentists to position the instrument effectively and achieve maximum torque for extraction.

3. Sharp Tips: The tips of the Cow Horns are sharp and pointed, enabling them to get underneath the bone and periodontal tissues, facilitating easier dislodging of teeth.

4. High-Quality Materials: Crafted from stainless steel, these forceps are not only durable but also resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity and consistent performance in a clinical setting.

5. Sterilizable: As with all dental instruments, the forceps can be easily sterilized, complying with hospital and dental office protocols for infection control.

Benefits of Using Fig#: 86C for Lower Molar Extractions

• Efficacy: The Cow Horns design is particularly effective for lower molars, which often have multi-rooted structures that can pose challenges during extraction. The design allows for enhanced control, reducing the risk of fracture during the procedure.

• Reduced Trauma: The ergonomic design and functionality of the forceps minimize the amount of force needed for extraction. This not only makes the process smoother but also helps to minimize trauma to the surrounding soft tissues.

• Improved Patient Experience: A smoother extraction process often translates to a more comfortable experience for the patient. Less trauma and quicker procedures can lead to reduced postoperative pain and swelling.

Proper Usage of Dental Forceps Fig#: 86C

1. Prepare: Ensure that appropriate anesthesia is administered to the patient and that the area is adequately prepared.

2. Assess: Evaluate the tooth and surrounding area to understand the root structure and plan your extraction technique.

3. Utilize the Forceps: Position the forceps around the lower molar, ensuring that the tips are securely beneath the tooth. Make sure to maintain a firm grip while applying slight rotational movements to loosen the tooth from the socket.

4. Extract: Once the tooth is adequately loosened, apply controlled pressure to remove the tooth from its socket. Ensure that you follow the natural curve of the tooth and surrounding structures to minimize trauma.

5. Post-Extraction Care: After the extraction, assess the site for any complications and provide post-operative care instructions to the patient.
