description
American Extracting Forceps No. 23 (commonly known as the Cowhorn Forcep) is a specialized dental instrument used to extract mandibular (lower) first and second molars. Its beak shape is designed to engage the bifurcation (the area where the roots divide) of the tooth.
Lower First and Second Molars: The sharp, pointed beaks are designed to wedge into the bifurcation of the tooth.
Severely Decayed Crowns: Because it engages directly in the bifurcation rather than relying on a solid crown, it is highly effective on molars that are heavily broken down or fractured.
Cowhorn Beaks: The beaks feature two long, pointed tips that resemble a cow's horns, facilitating a secure grip deep into the tooth's furcation.
American Pattern Hinge: Unlike English pattern forceps that have a visible screw, American-pattern forceps No. 23 feature a smooth, rivet-style joint.
Serrated Handles: These provide a non-slip grip, allowing the dentist to apply controlled leverage and rotational/traction force
What is it Made of?
