Extraction Forceps
Extraction forceps are used along with elevators to extract teeth. Each extraction forcep is designed for a particular area of
the mouth. The beaks are designed to ?t around the cervical portion of the tooth. Pointed beaks are designed to grip the
furcation area.
01. Parts of Extraction Forceps:
Figure 12.1 => Parts of Extraction Forceps.
Beak:
The beaks of extraction forceps are designed to ?t around the curve of the tooth’s crown.

Forceps designed for multi-rooted teeth have beaks with a point that is adapted to grip the tooth furcation.
Forceps designed for single-rooted teeth usually have smooth beaks.
Hinge:
Extraction forceps have hinges (can be screw or pin type) allowing the beak and handle to be opened and grasped.
Care must be taken with hinges to prevent damage during sterilisation (see manu-facturer’s instructions for
appropriate care).
Handle:
A serrated handle allows the operator to have a better grip.
A palm grasp is used with the handle of extraction forceps.
A curve on the end of the handle may be present for the little ?nger, to provide more stability and leverage.
Handles of maxillary forceps are often curved upwards, with the beak in line with the handle.
Mandibular forceps tend to have a straight handle with the beak at a 90° angle to the handle.

Function:
Elongated beak is designed for extraction of maxillary third molars and roots.
03. Upper Right Permanent Molar Extraction Forceps:
Figure 12.3 => Upper Right Permanent Molar Extraction Forceps.
Name:
Upper Right Permanent Molar Extraction Forceps.
Family:
Extraction Forceps.
Function:
Used for extraction of maxillary right permanent molar teeth.
Identifying Features:
To determine whether left or right forceps:
Hold forceps in hand loosely (beak facing patient).
The point of the beak should grip the furcation on the buccal side (‘beak to cheek’).
False Friends:
Upper Left Permanent Molar Extraction Forceps (Fig 12.4).
