Waldent Tooth Extraction Forceps Upper Roots No. 149 (1/163)

Description

The Waldent Tooth Extraction Forceps Upper Roots No. 149 is a precision dental instrument designed for the atraumatic removal of fractured roots and retained root fragments in the maxillary (upper) arch. Its narrow, tapered beaks converge to a fine tip, allowing the operator to reach deep into the socket and securely grasp residual root structure that standard crown forceps cannot engage. The contoured beak angulation follows the curvature of the upper alveolus, giving controlled access to anterior and premolar root remnants while minimizing trauma to surrounding bone and soft tissue. The serrated inner beak surfaces improve grip on smooth, fractured root surfaces, reducing slippage during luxation and elevation. The ergonomically shaped handle offers a firm, balanced hold for precise force application throughout the extraction. Suited to oral surgery and routine exodontia, this forceps is a reliable addition to any clinical setup focused on clean, efficient root retrieval.

Directions for Use

• Sterilize the forceps by autoclaving before each use
• Select the No. 149 forceps once the upper root or fragment is identified and any overlying tissue or bone is adequately exposed
• Position the patient and chair so the maxillary arch is clearly visible and accessible
• Guide the fine beaks along the long axis of the root, advancing apically to seat them firmly on the residual root surface
• Apply controlled apical pressure to grip the root, then use gentle luxation movements to loosen it from the socket
• Maintain steady, balanced force on the handle; avoid sudden or excessive force that could fracture the root further
• Once mobile, deliver the root along the path of least resistance
• Inspect the socket to confirm complete removal
• Clean and re-sterilize the forceps after the procedure
