A specialized lower molar forceps designed primarily for the extraction of mandibular molars with caries or substantial crown destruction. The American pattern #16 features a pistol-grip handle and beaks with a pronounced curvature and sharply pointed tips, engineered to engage deeper into the root bifurcation below the crown level for a secure grip.
Extraction of mandibular first and second molars with severely broken-down or carious crowns.
Useful when the standard #15 forceps cannot achieve a secure grip on the remaining tooth structure.
Engaging the roots at or below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in cases of crown fracture.
Provides an alternative grip for lower molars with short clinical crowns.
