The #222 is a specialized American-pattern dental extraction forceps designed specifically for the removal of lower third molars (mandibular wisdom teeth). It features a distinct, deep "cowhorn" or "beak" design similar to the #217, but is often more robust and may have a slightly different curvature to accommodate the unique anatomy and often difficult positioning of the mandibular third molar. This design is crucial for engaging the root bifurcation to deliver these frequently problematic teeth with controlled force and leverage.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction: The primary instrument for the removal of fully or partially erupted mandibular third molars where the crown and root anatomy allow for engagement of the beaks.
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: A critical tool in the surgical extraction of lower wisdom teeth, often used in conjunction with elevators.
Surgical Dentistry: Used for extracting other lower molars in difficult positions where standard #217 forceps may not fit adequately.
Note: Its use is typically reserved for cases where the wisdom tooth has a discernible bifurcation and sufficient crown structure.
