Extraction Forceps 79 for Upper Root and Residual Root Extraction
The Extraction Forceps 79 is a dedicated root extraction instrument designed for suitable residual and fractured root fragments in the upper arch. Its curved working ends provide a focused approach to accessible maxillary root structure, distinguishing this pattern from broader forceps intended primarily for crown extraction.
The No. 79 pattern is particularly relevant when the remaining tooth structure is limited and the clinician needs a narrower working end. The curved beaks can be positioned around an appropriate root portion, allowing the operator to establish engagement before carrying out the extraction technique selected for the individual case.
The curvature of the working ends changes the approach to the root compared with a straight forceps. This can be useful when the location of the residual fragment or the anatomy of the maxillary arch makes a direct straight approach less convenient. Proper access and seating remain essential to achieving appropriate engagement.
The relationship between the curved beaks, shanks, and handle provides the forceps with a defined working orientation. The handle gives the operator a substantial gripping area while the working end is positioned around the root, helping maintain the intended alignment during controlled removal.
The Extraction Forceps 79 is particularly suited to upper root fragment extraction, including appropriate residual or fractured root cases where sufficient structure remains accessible for engagement. It may be incorporated into general dentistry and selected oral surgery workflows according to the clinical requirements of the case.
The instrument is manufactured from stainless steel and intended for repeated professional use. It should be cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained according to established dental instrument-processing procedures between applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Extraction Forceps 79 used for?
Extraction Forceps 79 are designed for suitable removal of upper root fragments, residual roots, and accessible fractured root portions during dental extraction procedures.
Why does Forceps 79 have curved beaks?
The curved beaks provide an angled approach to the maxillary root area, which can make positioning more practical when a straight approach is less suitable.
Can Forceps 79 be used for fractured roots?
Yes, when the fractured or residual root portion is sufficiently accessible for the working ends to obtain an appropriate engagement.
Is Forceps 79 intended for crown extraction?
Its primary application is root-focused extraction rather than broad crown removal. It should be selected when the accessible structure and clinical requirements correspond with its pattern.
What makes the No. 79 pattern useful for upper roots?
Its curved working configuration provides a focused approach to accessible maxillary root structure, particularly when only a residual portion remains.
Is the Extraction Forceps 79 reusable?
Yes. It is intended for repeated professional use when properly cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained according to established instrument-processing procedures.
