Extraction Instruments

Extraction forceps are the core surgical instruments that are used for the controlled removal of teeth and root management in extraction procedures. The special tips of these instruments help the surgeons to grip, loosen, lift, and pull out teeth from the oral cavity. Grey Medical offers these instruments in German stainless steel for surgical extraction procedures for the best results.

Types of Tooth Extraction Instruments

The primary manual surgical extraction instruments are tooth extraction forceps and dental elevators. The forceps are used to grab and remove the tooth with their tips after loosening its roots. 

Additionally, dental elevators are manually used instruments that are used to lift and leverage the tooth and root fragments in a controlled way. There are different patterns of dental forceps used according to the particular procedures, the tooth anatomy and position, etc.
