Sklar Merit Upper First and Second Molar Extracting Forceps
Extraction forceps from Sklar shaped for the upper first and second molars, used by dentists and oral surgeons to grip and remove these teeth. It is commonly stocked
The Merit Upper First and Second Molar Extracting Forceps are a dental extraction instrument shaped specifically to fit the crown anatomy of the upper first and second molars. The beaks are contoured to seat around the tooth so the clinician can achieve a firm, controlled grip before applying the rotational and luxating movements needed to remove the tooth.
Instruments in this forceps family are typically forged from surgical stainless steel, allowing them to be autoclaved and reused across many procedures in a dental practice or oral surgery clinic. They are used by general dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and dental students learning extraction technique.
Because the beak shape is matched to a specific tooth position, choosing the correct pattern reduces the risk of slipping or damaging adjacent structures during the extraction. This forceps is part of the broader Merit line of extraction instruments carried for general dental practice.
