That gives access deep in the socket, where a standard 23 cowhorn cannot seat into the furcation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesign and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eApical forceps work by gripping the root below the level of the crown, which helps when the crown is broken down or has fractured. The tapered beaks slide along the root surface to find a secure hold before you apply buccolingual pressure to expand the socket and luxate the tooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeat the beaks as deep as the anatomy allows, check that both beaks contact the root, and apply controlled rocking movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnique and Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose forceps whose beaks match the root or tooth you are removing, and seat both beaks fully before you apply force. Use controlled rocking and rotation rather than a sudden pull, and support the jaw with your other hand to protect the temporomandibular joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForceps are for gripping and luxating, not for levering. After each case, open the hinge, flush out debris and check that the hinge moves freely before sterilizing. A drop of instrument lubricant on the hinge keeps the action smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial and Sterilization\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from medical grade stainless steel. Autoclavable for repeated sterilization cycles. Clean and dry the instrument after each use, and check the working ends for wear or damage before it goes into the pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtlas pattern lower molar apical forceps, number 222\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrow, tapered beaks reach the cervical and apical root region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeats where a standard 23 cowhorn cannot enter the furcation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor lower first and second molars in adult mandibular cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to retained root delivery as well as routine extractions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical grade stainless steel, autoclavable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SurgiWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67751028621626,"sku":"FR222A","price":189.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/2975\/5194\/files\/222-Lower-Molars-Apical-Atlas.webp?v=1792584958","url":"https:\/\/thedentalsolutions.ca\/products\/surgiworld-222-lower-molar-apical-forceps-atlas-pattern-fr222a","provider":"Dental Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
