The #288 is a specialized American-pattern dental extraction forceps designed for the removal of lower canines and premolars. It features a beak design that is set at a 90-degree (right) angle to the handles, similar in concept to the #286 but engineered for the mandibular arch. This right-angle configuration allows the dentist to approach these teeth from a lateral direction, providing optimal access, visibility, and leverage, especially for teeth with long, conical roots or in cases where standard straight forceps are difficult to position.
Tooth Extraction: The primary instrument for the extraction of mandibular canines and premolars, offering a superior mechanical advantage due to its angled approach.
Difficult Extractions: Particularly useful for teeth with long, divergent, or curved roots where a straight-line force is less effective.
Surgical Extractions: Valuable in surgical removal of fractured teeth or root tips in the mandibular canine/premolar region.
Oral Surgery: A specialized instrument that provides an alternative and often more ergonomic approach for these specific teeth.
