- A specialized dental instrument designed for the extraction of maxillary (upper) primary teeth and roots in pediatric patients
Uses
- Pediatric Extractions:
- Specifically engineered for the anatomical scale of a child's mouth
- Upper Arch Procedures:
- Used for the extraction of upper incisors, cuspids (canines), bicuspids (premolars), and roots
- Universal Application:
- Serves as a "universal" upper arch tool, meaning it can be used on either the left or right side of the maxilla
Features
- Pedodontic Size:
- Significantly smaller than the standard #150 forceps, making it easier to maneuver in limited pediatric spaces
- Anatomical Beaks:
- Features beaks specifically contoured to fit the cervical portion (neck) of primary upper teeth
- Material:
- Manufactured from high-grade Japanese stainless steel
- Vantage® Grade:
- Designed to provide a high-quality "surgical feel" at a competitive price point for high-volume clinics
Benefits
- Patient Management:
- Its compact size allows the instrument to be easily concealed in a clinician's hand, helping to reduce patient anxiety during procedures
- Reduced Trauma:
- The tapered, precision-fit beaks enable subgingival access to grip the tooth deeper in the socket, which helps minimize trauma to surrounding alveolar bone and tissue
- Operational Control:
- The ergonomic handle design reduces hand and wrist fatigue for the practitioner during extractions
- Reliability:
- Reusable and fully autoclavable, it is backed by a lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship
