Paediatric forceps are not simply smaller adult instruments. A child's mouth gives less working room, primary and newly erupted teeth have finer roots that fracture more easily, and the whole procedure has to be completed before the child's cooperation runs out. The spring is the detail that matters most in practice: it returns the beaks to the open position on its own, so the operator never has to force the handles apart with the fingers between attempts. That frees the hand for grip and control, and it keeps the instrument compact in the palm, which is quietly useful when managing an anxious child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"pw-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDentra Fig 139 forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne children's extraction forceps for upper premolars, spring handle, REF 60139\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-new\"\u003eNEW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is not included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"pw-table pw-excluded\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStatus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterilisation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe instrument is supplied non-sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eNOT INCLUDED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOther children's figure patterns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaediatric forceps for incisors, molars and roots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdult figure patterns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForceps for adult teeth and roots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstrument tray or basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTray, wire basket and reprocessing consumables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pw-badge pw-sold\"\u003eSOLD SEPARATELY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-note\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied non-sterile, sterilise before use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis instrument is supplied non-sterile.

Practices doing regular paediatric extraction work generally build that set rather than buying one figure at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design differences from an adult instrument are consistent across the range. The beaks are smaller and more closely set, so they seat on a small crown without the operator having to open the instrument wide in a small mouth. The overall instrument is shorter and lighter, which improves tactile feedback when the force needed is a fraction of an adult extraction. And the spring holds the instrument open between applications, which is the difference between a smooth sequence of attempts and a fumble with both hands in a child's mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChildren's upper premolar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e, sized and shaped for a child's tooth rather than scaled down from an adult instrument.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring handle\u003c\/strong\u003e, returning the beaks to the open position without the operator forcing the handles apart, which frees the hand for grip and control.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact in the palm\u003c\/strong\u003e, which helps when managing an anxious child and keeps the instrument less visually imposing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmaller closely set beaks\u003c\/strong\u003e, seating on a small crown without opening wide in a confined mouth.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBetter tactile feedback\u003c\/strong\u003e at the low forces a paediatric extraction requires, which matters when fine roots fracture easily.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart of a paediatric set\u003c\/strong\u003e, alongside upper incisor, upper molar, lower incisor, lower molar and root patterns for children.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel construction\u003c\/strong\u003e, reusable and suited to repeated steam sterilisation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDentra own brand\u003c\/strong\u003e from Elarix Medical, individually referenced as REF 60139 so reordering is by code rather than description.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"pw-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDentra\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChildren's extraction forceps, Fig 139\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60139\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper premolars in children\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring, self-opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePatient group\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaediatric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReprocessing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReusable, steam sterilisable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-sterile, single instrument\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntended user\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitably qualified dental professionals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"pw-alert\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFigure numbering and confirmed specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigure 139 denotes the children's upper premolar pattern in paediatric forceps ranges.
