Pediatric extraction forceps are scaled-down dental surgical instruments engineered to remove primary (deciduous) teeth from the alveolar bone of children aged 2 to 12 years. Each forceps features a narrow...

Premolar forceps are dental extraction instruments designed to grip and remove premolar teeth (bicuspids) from the alveolar bone. Upper premolar forceps such as the #150 feature a slight S-curve that...

Serrated-beak forceps grip through micro-interlocking between cross-cut grooves and the tooth surface, so they hold at lower closing force and resist slipping in a wet field. Smooth-beak forceps grip through...
