Extraction forceps selector

Extraction forceps are designed around three things: the arch, the tooth group (incisor and canine, premolar, molar, wisdom tooth, or retained root), and for many molar patterns the side, because the beaks are shaped to engage the buccal furcation. Select the tooth above and the tool filters AsaDental's range to the patterns indicated for that position.

Upper molars have two buccal roots and one palatal root, so the beaks are asymmetric — one engages the buccal furcation while the other stays smooth for the palatal surface. That makes the instrument handed, which is why patterns such as 0100-22L and 0100-22R exist as a pair. Instruments with no side listed are not handed and work on either side.

Serrated beaks grip a crown or root surface more securely and are generally preferred where the tooth is sound. Non-serrated beaks are gentler on the root surface. AsaDental publishes this per pattern; where the catalogue and the manufacturer's product page disagree, we show nothing rather than guess.

It describes the resting position of the working ends when no pressure is applied. Patterns with beaks open at rest sit ready around the tooth and are common for molars; closed-at-rest patterns are typical of narrower root and incisor forceps.

AsaLady patterns — codes beginning with W or SW — have smaller, lighter handles with reduced finger holes, designed for smaller hands. The working ends match the standard pattern of the same number.
