The #10 S Nevius is a specialized American-pattern dental extraction forceps designed specifically for the removal of upper canines (maxillary canines). Named for its designer, this instrument features a distinct "pistol-grip" or offset handle design. The handles are significantly offset from the line of the beaks, which allows the operator to apply force along the long axis of the tooth from a more comfortable and ergonomic hand position. This design provides exceptional leverage and control for extracting these teeth, which have the longest and often most robust roots in the maxillary arch.
Canine Extraction: The primary and highly specialized instrument for the removal of maxillary canines. Its design is considered optimal for managing the long, dense root of this tooth.
Difficult Extractions: Invaluable for surgical removal of impacted canines or canines with hypercementosis, where significant force and precise control are required.
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: A key instrument in surgical trays for orthognathic surgery, pre-prosthetic surgery, or other procedures requiring canine extraction.
Specialist Dentistry: Often favored by oral surgeons and periodontists for its unparalleled mechanical advantage on this specific tooth.
