Atraumatic Extraction Forceps 36N for Deep and Confined Root Access
The Atraumatic Extraction Forceps 36N is a specialized extraction instrument developed for residual and fractured tooth roots, particularly when the remaining root is positioned deep within the socket or access around it is restricted. The design places emphasis on reaching the root without requiring a broad working end, making the instrument distinct from conventional forceps intended for engagement of an intact crown.
Its most important clinical feature is the slim precision beak profile. The narrow working end is designed to enter deeper and more confined areas of the socket, allowing the clinician to approach an accessible root surface with greater positional accuracy. Once the beaks have been appropriately adapted to the available root structure, controlled extraction movements can be performed according to the individual case.
The angled working configuration further contributes to access. Rather than requiring a direct straight-line approach, the working end provides a directed orientation toward the root while the handles remain positioned for practical manipulation. This can be particularly useful when the residual fragment is situated within a restricted socket and direct access is difficult.
Clinically, the 36N is intended for atraumatic root and residual-root extraction techniques where preservation of surrounding structures is an important consideration. The instrument itself does not guarantee an atraumatic result; careful case assessment, appropriate beak placement, controlled force application, and sound extraction technique remain essential.
The ergonomic handle is designed to provide grip stability and tactile feedback during delicate root manipulation. This allows the clinician to feel changes in engagement and maintain controlled orientation of the slim working end rather than relying on excessive gripping pressure.
Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Forceps 36N is intended for professional dental and oral-surgical environments. Its corrosion-resistant construction supports repeated clinical use, while its reusable and fully autoclavable design allows appropriate cleaning, inspection, sterilization, and maintenance between procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes the 36N from a conventional extraction forceps?
The 36N is designed around access to residual and fractured roots rather than primarily gripping an intact crown. Its slim beaks are particularly suited to confined socket areas.
Why is a slim beak important for deep root extraction?
A slim working end can enter narrower areas of the socket and reach accessible root surfaces that may be difficult to approach with a broader forceps design.
What is the purpose of the angled working end?
The angled configuration provides a directed approach to the root while allowing the handles to remain in a workable position during manipulation.
Can the 36N be used for fractured roots?
Yes. The product is specifically intended for fractured and residual root extraction where sufficient accessible root structure is available for appropriate engagement.
Does the 36N prevent bone or soft-tissue trauma?
No instrument can guarantee that. Its slim, precision-oriented design is intended to support controlled and minimally invasive extraction techniques, but clinical outcome depends on case anatomy, positioning, force application, and operator technique.
Is the 36N suitable for repeated professional use?
Yes. It is manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel and is designed to be reusable and fully autoclavable following appropriate instrument-processing procedures.
