FAQs
What is extraction forceps #185 used for?
It is used to remove retained or fractured lower roots, for example roots left behind after a crown has broken away during extraction.
How is a root forceps different from a standard extraction forceps?
Root forceps have narrower beaks designed to grip remaining root structure rather than a full tooth crown.
Is #185 part of the English pattern Set of 10?
No. The Set of 10 does not include #185, so it is sold as a single instrument.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
