Dental Extraction Forceps No. 51A - Upper Roots

DENTIFY® Dental Extraction Forceps 51A - Upper Roots

DENTIFY® English Extracting Forceps No. 51A are used for the extraction of maxillary (upper) roots, fractured tooth fragments, and deeply buried root stumps. Featuring an elongated bayonet-style offset with ultra-slender, parallel-closing jaws, this pattern allows for reaching deep into the posterior upper alveolar sockets. The specialized design provides a clear line of sight and prevents the instrument from lower dentition.

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. 51A

Maxillary Bayonet Design: Pronounced double-bend architecture optimized for maximum posterior access and unobstructed clinical visibility.

Elongated Slender Jaws: Ultra-narrow, parallel-closing beaks engineered to glide smoothly into deep-seated upper root sockets.

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.

Atraumatic Efficiency: Designed to grip below the enamel line to reduce the risk of crown fracture.

Clinical Uses of Extracting Forceps No. 51A

Extracting Forceps No. 51A are the clinical standard for removing retained or fractured maxillary roots, root tips, and sectioned posterior molar roots in the upper jaw. The straight-line apical progression allowed by the bayonet offset ensures uniform force application along the longitudinal axis of the root. This precise fit facilitates controlled, gentle luxation and a predictable pull trajectory, effectively preserving the surrounding bone plates and accelerating post-operative healing.
