description
Dental English Extraction Forceps No. 17 are surgical hand-held instruments used to grasp, luxate, and extract teeth from the alveolar bone (socket). They are primarily designed for removing first and second lower (mandibular) molars.
Lower Molars: Specifically engineered to fit the anatomical crown and root bifurcation of mandibular first and second molars.
Convergent Roots: Often chosen over cowhorn forceps (e.g., No. 23) when the molar roots are fused or convergent rather than widely divergent.
Controlled Extraction: Used to apply controlled apical pressure and luxating movements to loosen the tooth and expand the socket before removal.
Tri-pointed Beaks: Features a distinctive pointed beak on both the buccal and lingual sides to lock securely into the root furcation of the molars.
Angulation: Contains a sharp right-angle bend (or bayonet shape depending on regional pattern) connecting the beaks to the handle, providing proper leverage in the posterior regions of the mandible.
Grip Variations: Available with smooth, serrated, or checkered beaks to prevent the instrument from slipping on the tooth crown.
What is it Made of?
Durability: Manufactured from passivated, surgical-grade stainless steel to prevent corrosion and withstand repeated high-temperature autoclaving.
Rust Protection The forceps are treated to prevent rust, so they stay in great shape.
Smooth and Polished The forceps are polished to a smooth, shiny finish, making them easy to clean and preventing dirt buildup.
