American Pattern Dental Extraction Forceps No. 1 - Upper Anteriors & Canines

DENTIFY® American Pattern Extraction Forceps No. 1 - Upper Anteriors & Canines

DENTIFY® American Pattern Extracting Forceps No. 1 are used for the extraction of maxillary (upper) central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines. Straight profile paired with smooth, conical, parallel-closing beaks aligns perfectly with the longitudinal axis of upper anterior teeth. The internal jaw surfaces have precise longitudinal serrations to deliver a non-slip grasp around the cervical line.

Traditional American-pattern box-joint hinge provides a perfectly smooth, fluid movement, balanced handling, and a secure grip during extractions. 

The knurled handle enhances grip and provides optimal control. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, they offer durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent clinical performance.

Key Features of American Pattern Extraction Forceps No. 1

American Pattern: Features a straight handle configuration with a classic checkered grip area and a box-joint for smooth mobility.

Conical, Slender Beaks: Anatomically contoured jaws designed to grasp the convex crowns of upper incisors and canines evenly without crushing the enamel.

Textured Inner Jaws: Precision longitudinal grooves provide multi-surface micro-retention, preventing rotational or vertical twisting slippage.

Direct-Line Access: Straight, non-offset layout allows for direct apical progression parallel to the tooth’s root trajectory.

Premium Construction: Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel for high corrosion resistance and exceptional longevity.

Ergonomic Control: Balanced weight distribution enhances tactile feedback, allowing for controlled, metered force application.

Clinical Uses of American Pattern Extracting Forceps No. 1

American Forceps No. 1 are the clinical standard for removing maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines. The straight profile allows the clinician to advance the beaks deep into the periodontal ligament space parallel to the tooth’s axis. This ensures a clean separation of the ligament fibers and even expansion of the cortical bone, allowing for an atraumatic extraction and preserving the delicate labial bone plate.
