Extraction Forceps are specialized surgical instruments used by dentists and oral surgeons to remove teeth from the alveolar bone. These hand-held, plier-like instruments are meticulously designed with a specific shape and curvature to provide optimal grip, leverage, and control during tooth extraction procedures. Each pair of extraction forceps is generally designed for specific teeth or groups of teeth (e.g., incisors, molars, wisdom teeth) and for different arches (upper or lower jaw), taking into account the unique anatomy of their roots and crowns. They consist of three main parts: the handles, which provide the clinician with a firm grip; the hinge, which allows the beaks to open and close; and the beaks, which are the working ends that grasp the tooth. The inner surfaces of the beaks are often serrated to ensure a secure, non-slip hold on the tooth crown or root. The design of the beaks, including their angulation and size, is crucial for adapting snugly to the tooth's anatomy, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues while providing sufficient force to luxate (loosen) and extract the tooth. Proper selection of the correct forceps for the specific tooth being extracted is paramount to a successful and atraumatic procedure. Extraction forceps are fundamental to exodontia (the art of tooth extraction) and are a cornerstone of any dental surgical kit, representing a critical tool for managing various dental issues ranging from irreversible decay to impacted teeth.
