Dental Extraction Forceps No. 121 - Upper Wisdom Teeth

DENTIFY® Dental Extraction Forceps No. 121 - Upper Wisdom Teeth

DENTIFY® English Extracting Forceps No. 121 (Ogden-Felsch pattern) are used for the extraction of maxillary (upper) third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. Short, anatomically contoured, cup-shaped beaks provide an unyielding, wrap-around grip on the crown and cervical region of upper wisdom teeth. The unique architecture delivers maximum surface contact, preventing instrument slippage even on structurally compromised or unusually small third molar crowns.

Traditional English-pattern design provides excellent control, 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 Extraction Forceps No. 121

Ogden-Felsch Design: Specially engineered cup-shaped working ends optimized to adapt to the highly variable anatomy of upper wisdom teeth.

Deep Posterior Access: Compact beak architecture allows for easy navigation into restricted spaces behind the second molars.

High-Stability Adaptation: Smoothly contoured inner jaws enclose the tooth structure uniformly to eliminate rotational slippage.

Traditional English-Pattern: Delivers balanced weight distribution and heavy-duty physical force transfer.

Premium Construction: Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel for high corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.

Knurled Handle: High-friction textured surface ensures a confident grip and reduces hand fatigue.

Clinical Uses of Extracting Forceps No. 121

Extracting Forceps No. 121 are utilized exclusively for the precise removal of maxillary third molars. Upper wisdom teeth frequently present with limited interproximal space and tight oral clearance. The Ogden-Felsch cup-shaped beak profile allows the instrument to slide cleanly over the crown to grip firmly below the enamel line. This precise anatomical fit facilitates controlled, gentle luxation along a natural path of exit, effectively protecting the delicate maxillary tuberosity and accelerating post-operative healing.
