Dental forceps No. 86C, also known as a "cowhorn" forcep, are designed for the extraction of lower molars due to their specific design, which features cylindrical beaks with a gradual taper to pointed tips that fit around the tooth's contour. The significance of the 86C lies in its ability to apply force to the buccal and lingual cortical plates of the mandible, using these as a fulcrum for extraction, providing dentists with greater leverage and control for safe and effective removal of damaged lower teeth.Use:
Targeted Extraction: Specifically used for extracting lower molar teeth from the alveolar bone.
Leverage and Grip: The cylindrical beaks and pointed tips are shaped to fit snugly around the tooth, while the beak design acts as a fulcrum on the buccal and lingual cortical plates, allowing for strong leverage and a secure grip.
Controlled Force: The forceps' ergonomic design allows the oral surgeon to apply a maximum amount of controlled force to deliver the tooth with minimal effort.
Anatomical Fit: The beaks are designed to approximate the tooth's contour, which is crucial for a stable and effective extraction.
Significance:
Specialized Design: The "cowhorn" shape with its cylindrical, tapering, and pointed beaks is a signature design feature that distinguishes it for lower molar extractions.
Enhanced Control: By providing a firm grip and leveraging the surrounding bone, the 86C enables the surgeon to exert precise control over the tooth during extraction.
Patient Safety: The instrument's effectiveness helps to reduce the amount of force needed, increasing the safety of the procedure and minimizing the risk of fracturing the tooth or surrounding structures.
Reliability: Made from high-quality stainless steel, these forceps are durable, autoclavable, and reusable, ensuring reliability and consistent performance in dental practices.
