FAQs
What is extraction forceps #79 used for?
It is designed for extracting lower third molars (wisdom teeth), including partially erupted cases where the crown can be grasped.
What does the sandblasted finish do?
The forceps are processed with high-pressure bead-blasting to create a uniform matte surface. Unlike a mirror-polished instrument, this matte finish minimises glare and reflection from the operating light. It is a surface finish on the steel itself, not a paint or coating.
How is #79 different from other lower molar forceps?
Its angled head and curved beaks are shaped to reach and grip third molars where access is limited, unlike standard lower molar forceps such as #22 used further forward in the arch.
What material is this instrument made from?
It is manufactured from Japanese-standard (JIS) SUS 410J1 stainless steel and withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation.
