The #49S is a specialized American-pattern dental extraction forceps featuring a unique, proprietary design for the removal of lower molars. The "S" typically denotes "Standard" within this specialized series. It diverges from classic cowhorn or bayonet designs, often incorporating ergonomic handle angles, specially contoured beaks, or a compound hinge mechanism aimed at maximizing leverage, control, and reducing operator fatigue. This "special design" is engineered to provide a mechanical advantage in challenging mandibular molar extractions, such as those with bulbous crowns, close roots, or in patients with dense bone.
Difficult Molar Extractions: The primary instrument for removing mandibular molars that present challenges for standard cowhorn (#17, #151) or straight-beak (#23) forceps.
Surgical Exodontia: Highly valuable in oral surgery for molars with fused roots, hypercementosis, or those requiring significant luxation force.
Operator Ergonomics: The special design aims to reduce strain on the dentist's hand and wrist during prolonged or forceful extractions.
Specialized Practice: Often found in the kits of oral surgeons and general dentists who frequently perform complex extractions.
