Extraction Forceps 87 with Pointed Beaks for Lower Molar Extraction
The Extraction Forceps 87 is a specialized dental extraction instrument designed around the anatomy of suitable lower molars. Its narrow pointed beaks provide a focused working end for approaching accessible areas of the mandibular molar, particularly where engagement around the furcation is appropriate.
The No. 87 pattern is the defining feature of this forceps. Unlike broader extraction forceps intended for general tooth engagement, its pointed working ends provide a more concentrated contact area. This makes pattern selection important when the clinician needs a forceps configuration that corresponds with the root anatomy of a lower molar.
The pointed beaks are particularly relevant to furcation engagement. When suitable furcation structure is accessible, the working ends can be positioned into the appropriate area to establish a secure point of contact before the selected extraction movement is performed. Correct seating should always be based on the individual tooth anatomy and clinical situation.
The narrow working profile also provides a different approach from forceps with wide or rounded jaws. This can be useful during lower molar extraction when the accessible root anatomy calls for a more focused working end rather than a broad tooth-contact surface.
The long shanks connect the pointed working ends to the handle, providing the operator with a practical working distance from the posterior mandibular area. The textured handle gives the hand a defined gripping surface for maintaining instrument orientation during positioning and extraction.
Manufactured from stainless steel, the Forceps 87 is intended for repeated professional dental use. It can be incorporated into general dentistry, tooth extraction, and selected oral surgery workflows when its No. 87 configuration is appropriate for the case.
After use, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained according to the dental practice's established instrument-processing procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Extraction Forceps 87 used for?
Extraction Forceps 87 are designed for suitable lower molar extraction procedures where their pointed beaks can provide appropriate engagement with accessible molar anatomy.
What is the purpose of the pointed beaks on Forceps 87?
The narrow pointed beaks provide a concentrated working profile that can be positioned around suitable lower molar structure, including accessible furcation areas.
What does furcation engagement mean with Forceps 87?
It refers to positioning the pointed working ends in an accessible furcation area of a lower molar to establish an appropriate point of engagement before extraction.
Are Forceps 87 specifically for lower molars?
The No. 87 pattern is designed around lower molar extraction, so its working geometry is particularly relevant to suitable mandibular molar cases.
Can Forceps 87 be used when the furcation is not accessible?
The instrument should only be used when its working ends can be appropriately positioned. If the required anatomy cannot be safely accessed, another extraction approach or instrument may be more suitable.
Is Extraction Forceps 87 reusable?
Yes. It is intended for repeated professional use when appropriately cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained between procedures.
