The #17 SK is a variant of American-pattern dental extraction forceps designed for lower molars. The "SK" suffix is a manufacturer-specific designation (often associated with Sklar Instruments) and typically indicates a particular variant or model within their product line. It features a standard cowhorn or beak design, similar to the classic #17 forceps, engineered to engage the bifurcation of mandibular molar roots. This design provides the mechanical advantage needed for efficient molar extractions, with the SK variant offering specific ergonomic or dimensional characteristics favored by some practitioners.
Molar Extraction: The primary instrument for the efficient removal of mandibular molars with intact bifurcations, using the cowhorn principle.
General Dentistry: A common and powerful tool in dental practices for routine molar extractions.
Surgical Efficiency: Allows for the application of significant luxation force with less effort from the operator, reducing fatigue.
Brand-Specific Variant: The SK model may be preferred by practitioners familiar with or loyal to a specific manufacturer's instrument feel and quality.
