Dentra Extraction Forceps Fig 76, Upper Roots, English Pattern

Dentra Fig 76 is an English pattern extraction forceps for the remaining roots of upper teeth. Root removal is a different task from removing a whole tooth. There is no crown to grip, the fragment often sits at or below the gingival margin, and the operator has to seat the beaks onto what is left and expand the socket around it. Fig 76 is shaped for exactly that: long fine beaks that reach a retained root, cross serrated faces that hold a small target without slipping, and a working end narrow enough to be driven between root and socket wall rather than resting on top of it.

Supplied non-sterile, sterilise before use

This instrument is supplied non-sterile. It must be decontaminated and sterilised in line with the receiving practice's decontamination policy before any clinical use, including before first use.
For use by a suitably qualified dental professional. Extraction technique, case selection and instrument choice are clinical decisions.
Inspect the beaks, the tips, the joint and the handle alignment before each use. Fine beaks are more vulnerable than molar patterns, so check the tips closely and withdraw the instrument on any chip, splay or misalignment.
Forceps are designed for the pattern of tooth they name. Applying a root forceps to an intact molar risks damage to the instrument as well as to the tooth.

Where Fig 76 is used

Fig 76 is the upper root pattern, used on retained roots and root fragments in the maxilla on either side. It follows elevation rather than replacing it: a root is usually mobilised with an elevator or luxator first, and the forceps then takes the grip and delivers it.

The beak geometry is the point of the instrument. Long, narrow, cross serrated faces let the operator reach a fragment that a general upper pattern cannot seat on, and the serrations grip enamel-free dentine and cementum which are smoother and less forgiving than a crown. The same design applies apical pressure that expands the socket as the beaks are seated, which is what loosens a root rather than shearing it.

The pattern is commonly listed in instrument catalogues as the Read design, and it is produced in narrower variants for smaller roots and fragments. This listing is the standard Fig 76.

Key features

Upper roots, either side, so one instrument covers both quadrants of the maxilla.

Long fine beaks, reaching retained roots and fragments that a general upper pattern cannot seat on.

Cross serrated beak faces, holding a small, smooth target without slipping.

Narrow working end, seating between root and socket wall to expand the socket rather than resting on top of the fragment.

English pattern, as confirmed by the supplier, so it sits alongside the rest of an English pattern tray rather than mixing handle geometries.

Knurled handle grip, keeping control when the handles are wet and when fine force is being applied.

Stainless steel construction, reusable and suited to repeated steam sterilisation.

Dentra own brand from Elarix Medical, individually referenced as REF 60076 so reordering is by code rather than description.

Reprocessing and care

Stage	Action
Before first use	Remove all packaging, decontaminate and sterilise
Point of use	Keep the instrument moist after use so blood and debris do not dry into the serrations and the joint
Cleaning	Process per the practice decontamination policy, with the joint opened fully so the hinge is reached
Inspection	Check beak alignment and tip integrity closely, since fine beaks show damage sooner than molar patterns
Lubrication	Apply instrument lubricant to the joint where the local policy requires it
Sterilisation	Steam sterilise per the validated cycle for the load, with the instrument in the open position
Storage	Store dry and protected, keeping the fine beak tips clear of contact with heavier instruments
Withdrawal	Remove from service on any sign of corrosion, cracking, beak splay or a slack joint

The above is general guidance. The practice decontamination policy and current national guidance on decontamination in primary care dental practices take precedence.

Dentra range

Dentra is the dental instrument range from Elarix Medical. Extraction forceps are supplied by figure number across the English and American patterns, alongside orthodontic pliers and cutters and prosthodontic measuring instruments. Every item is individually referenced and barcoded, so a repeat order is placed against a code rather than a description.
