The #23 S is a specialized American-pattern dental extraction forceps designed for the removal of lower molars. The "S" in its designation often stands for "Standard", indicating it is the primary or standard model within a series. It features a bayonet or "S-shaped" beak design that is not a cowhorn. This design allows the beaks to approach the lower molar from a more occlusal direction while providing a clear line of sight and improved access, especially in patients with limited mouth opening or prominent maxillary teeth. The beaks are broad and serrated to engage the crown securely.
Molar Extraction: Used for the removal of mandibular molars, providing an alternative design to the straight-beak Woodward or the cowhorn forceps.
Improved Access: The bayonet shape is particularly useful when access to the lower molar is obstructed by the maxillary arch or limited mouth opening, as it allows the hand to be positioned more laterally.
General and Surgical Dentistry: A valuable instrument that offers a different mechanical approach, expanding the dentist's options for mandibular molar extraction.
Versatility: Can be effective for molars with crowns that are too broken down for a cowhorn forceps to engage properly.
