Tooth Extraction Forceps

Extraction forceps are essential tools used for the removal of teeth. They are commonly employed in intra-alveolar extractions alongside elevators. Forceps help lift and extract the tooth from the alveolar bone socket after it has been luxated by the elevator. Additionally, they assist in expanding the bone when needed. The design and configuration of extraction forceps are tailored to accommodate the removal of specific teeth.
