Introduction A surgical instrument is a specially designed tool or device for performing specific actions and carrying out desired effects during a surgery or operation. Most surgical instruments are made of high grade steel,either stainless tungsten carbide or chrome plated
Objectives Optimal surgical field Optimal visibility Decreased strain to the surgeon
History One of the earliest dental tools is a drill . The first dental drill appeared in 7000 BC and was an invention of Indus Valley Civilization . The history of extraction foreceps is very old and goes back to Aristotle (384-322 BC) where he described the mechanism of oral surgery foreceps Archimedes studied and discussed the priciples of lever about 100 years after Aristotle
Until the 16 th century, dedicated dentists did no exist and dentstry was practiced by general physicians and barbers. A number of tools were invented for performing this procedure, most commonly used for extraction was the Dental Pelican.

Instruments used for extraction of teeth Dental extraction foreceps PARTS:- BEAKS HINGE HANDLE
Maxillary Anterior Foreceps DESCRIPTION:- •The handle,hinge and beaks are in the same plane. •Both the beaks are symmetrical. They are broad with sharp rounded edge. The beaks come together at the edges when the handles are closed completely. •The handles are straight with serration on the outer surface.
METHOD TO USE:- To extract maxillary central incisor,lateral incisor and canines. The tooth is held firmly at CEJ Since these teeth have a conical root,the tooth is extracted with a rotatory movement.
Maxillary premolar foreceps The beaks are at a slight angulation to the hinge and handles. This is for better access in the premolar region of the oral cavity. The handles are straight or may droop slightly. The beaks are symmetrical with the edges sharp and rounded . When the handles are closed completely,there is a small gap between the edges of the beaks.
METHOD TO USE:- •To extract maxillary first and second premolars. •The first premolar usually has 2 roots,so buccal and palatal traction is given for extraction. •The second premolar has conical root. Rotational forces are given for extraction.
Maxillary molar foreceps The beaks are symmetrical. One beak is fitted with a pointed projection which is meant to engage the buccal trifurcation. The other beak has a rounded edge to engage on the CEJ of the lingual root. Gap between the beaks is more than that of premolar forceps. Available in pairs
METHOD TO USE :- • Extraction of 3 rooted maxillary first and second molars. •The pointed beak is engaged on the buccal trifurcation and the rounded beak on the palatal CEJ. •Once apical force is applied to ensure a good grip on the tooth,buccal and palatal traction is given for extraction.
Maxillary Cowhorn Foreceps DESCRIPTION :- • The beaks are at an angle to the hinge and handles. • It has asymmetrical beaks with one beak which is cylindrical and tapering to end in a pointed tip. The other beak has a forked end to engage the palatal root. • It is also available in pairs.
USES:- Extraction of grossly carious first and second maxillary molar. It gives a firm grip on the tooth where a normal maxillary molar forceps is likely to crush the grossly carious crown. In some teeth it may even fracture the furcation to separation the roots so that individual roots may be removed separately. Once a good grip of the tooth is obtained,buccal and palatal traction is given to extract the tooth.
Bayonet Root Foreceps Contra angled design of the handles and beaks. Specially made to obtain good access in the posterior region and also to avoid injury to the lower lip The beaks of the root forceps are narrow. Used for extraction of maxillary roots.
Maxillary Third Molar Foreceps Beaks design is similar to bayonet root forcep . Beaks are broad and symmetrical with rounded edge. Its design provides good access to the maxillary third molar region
Directions Since the maxillary 3rd molar has 3 roots which are fused with no clear demarcated trifurcation,the beaks used are symmetrical to engage the CEJ bucally and palatally
Mandibular Anterior foreceps DESCRIPTION:- •Beaks are perpendicular to the handles. •Beaks are narrow, symmetrical and have a concave sharp edge. •The beaks converge at the edge when the handles are closed completely.
METHOD OF USE:- • To extract all mandibular anterior teeth . •Tooth is held firmly at CEJ and firm rotation movement with the forcep is required for extraction
DESCRIPTION:- •Beaks are slightly broader than the mandibular anterior forceps. •Beaks do not converge completely when the handles are closed. •Symmetrical beaks with concave sharp edges. Mandibular premolar foreceps
METHOD OF USE :- • To extract mandibular premolars. •Mandibular premolars have a single conical root, so after holding the tooth firmly at the CEJ with a good apical force,rotational forces are given extraction.
Mandibular molar foreceps DESCRIPTION :- • Beaks are perpendicular to the handles. • Beaks are symmetrical with a pointed projection on both the beaks . • This projection engages in the bifurcation between the mesial and distal roots of the mandibular molar . Beaks are broad and do not converge completely when the handles are closed .
METHOD OF USE:- • The beaks are engaged with pointed projections engaged in the furcation. •Lingual and buccal traction is given to luxate the tooth.
Mandibular Cowhorn Foreceps DESCRIPTION:- •Beaks are perpendicular to the handles. •Both the beaks have a symmetrical design. The beaks are cylindrical with a gradual taper to end in a pointed tip. •The beaks do not converge completely when the handles are closed to accommodate the tooth.
METHOD OF USES:- •Used for the extraction of grossly carious mandibular molars where an ordinary molar forceps may crush the remaining weakened crown structure.
Elevators INDICATIONS FOR USE:- 1.To remove fractured root fragments(fractured at apical,middle or gingival 1/3rd). 2.To luxate grossly carious teeth before engaging a forcep . 3. To remove intraradicular bone. 4.To split teeth once a bur groove has been placed.
Parts of a elevator HANDLE SHANK BLADE
Working Principles Of Elevation LEVER PRINCIPLE :- • The elevator is the lever of the 1st class position of the fulcrum is between the effort and resistance.
Long arm is 3/4th of the total length and short arm is 1/4th of the total length, to get mechanical advantage of 3.
WEDGE PRINCIPLE • In this principle elevator is pushed between the root and the investing bony tissue parallel to long axis of tooth by hand pressure or by mallet force. •It is used in conjunction with lever principle .
Sharper the angle of the wedge less the effort required to overcome a given resistance. •formula=( ExI = Rxh )or(R/E=I/H). •Mechanical advantage of this principle is 2.5.
3.WHEEL AND AXLE PRINCIPLE:- •In this principle,effort is applied to the circumference of a wheel,which turns the axle so as to raise a weight. •It can also be used in conjunction with lever and wedge principle.
Formula=( EffortXradius of wheel= resistanceXradius of axle)(R/E= Rw /Ra). •Mechanical advantage of this principle is 4.6.
Straight Elevator Description:- •Large peer shaped handle with a straight shank and a blade which has a concave/convex surface and an inclined plane. •The blade has a deep concave groove on 1 side and tip is sharp and straight.
METHOD TO USE:- •Working of this elevator is based on wedge principle and 1 st order lever principle. •The elevator is placed at an 45degree angle to the long axis to the tooth with concavity of the blade facing the tooth to be extracted. •The crest of the interceptal bone is used as fulcrum . •It may also look like parallel to the long axis of the tooth when it is wedged into the PDL space to luxate the tooth.
Apexo Elevators DESCRIPTION:- •“Offset” or angulated elevator as the blade is at an angle to the shank. • The blade is narrow with a deep concavity on one side & end in a sharp pointed tip. • It is available in pairs
METHOD TO USE:- • To remove fractured root fragments at the cervical, middle 1/3rd or apical 1/3rd. •The pointed tip & concave surface of the blade is wedged between the tooth fragment & the alveolar bone from the mesial & distal aspect with a slight pushpry motion. •Based on wedge principle.
Cryer’s Elevators DESCRIPTION:- •“Offset blade” as the blade is at an angle to the shank and handle . •Blade is curved and triangular in shape with a pointed tip. •It is available in pairs
USES:- •To remove impacted molars. The pointed tip is placed in the buccal furcation to luxate the tooth from the socket. •Rotational forces are used on the wheel and axle principle. •To remove fractured root tips in mandibular molars. •To extract mandibular molar root stumps when both the roots are present but one is fractured at a lower level than the other or when the bifurcation is intact.
To assist in removal of the erupted maxillary 3rd molar.the elevator is placed with the buccal fulcrum on the alveolar bone Sometimes a bur hole may b drilled onto the tooth to be luxated . The pointed tip of the elevator is engaged into the burhole to get a good purchase point and the tooth is removed
DESCRIPTION:- “Offset blade” design where the blade is at an angle to the shank and handle . The blade appears similar to the Cryer’s elevator. The handle as a crossbar design as it is perpendicular to the shank. •The blade is curved and triangular in shape. Winter’s Crossbar
USES:- Used with rotational forces based on wheel and axle principle. Used for removal of impacted mandibular teeth. Used with caution for removal of impacted mandibular third molars as the force may cause fracture of the angle region of the mandible. Used for removal of root fragments of mandibular molars. Not used in maxillary arch.

Newer Techniques Physics Foreceps Developed by Golden in 2004 U ses first-class lever mechanics One handle of the device is connected to a “bumper ,” which acts as a fulcrum during the extraction.
Bumper is placed approxiamately at the level of mucogingival junction. The beak of the extractor is positioned on the lingual or palatal root of the tooth and into the gingival sulcus B eak and bumper design that allows for efficient atraumatic extractions using only wrist movement. When this technique is first attempted, a conscious effort must be made to retrain your hands to not squeeze the instruments and to not pull with your arm.
