Upper Root Extracting Forceps for Retained Roots
Upper root extracting forceps let you remove retained roots that no longer offer a crown to grip. Because the beaks are slim and grooved, they slide along the root surface and hold it firmly. Surgeons therefore keep control while they work around the socket wall. Moreover, the textured handle steadies your hand during slow, even traction.
We engrave ID-12-0002 on the shank, so your team identifies the pair after sterilization. In fact, the stainless steel body resists rust and tolerates repeated autoclave cycles. Therefore, distributors can pair it with our upper anterior extraction forceps for a complete upper-arch set. However, always match the pattern to the root’s position before you order.

Clinical Applications
- Removing roots left behind after a crown fractures at the gum line.
- Extracting residual roots after caries destroys most of the crown.
- Taking out root stumps from failed endodontic treatment after elevator luxation.
- Clearing mobile root remnants before an immediate denture.
- Retrieving root fragments from a socket after a first extraction attempt.
Key Benefits / Real Differentiators
- Slim, grooved beaks: The narrow tips seat low on the root. The grooves then keep the grip while you rotate and pull.
- Cross-hatched handle: A diamond texture covers the full grip, so your fingers stay stable with wet gloves.
- Rust-resistant stainless steel: The body tolerates steam sterilization.
- Engraved shank code: ID-12-0002 lets stockists pick and reorder the right pattern quickly.
Ideal For
Oral surgery units that handle daily root removals rely on this pattern. Dental college clinics, emergency dental clinics, and hospital dental departments also keep it on the tray. Furthermore, distributors and tender suppliers use it to complete root-extraction sets.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You use it on retained upper roots and small residual teeth. Therefore, choose a molar pattern for intact multi-rooted teeth.
Yes. Clean and dry the pair, then load it into the steam autoclave. Follow the CDC dental infection control guidance for your cycle. Brush the grooves, because debris hides in the cross-hatching.
In most cases, yes. You loosen the ligament with root elevators, then grip the root with the forceps. This sequence protects the socket wall.
Yes. Inspect the joint and beaks after each cycle. Replace the pair when the grooves wear smooth, since a worn grip reduces control.
