The Hawk's Bill name describes the angled beaks that curve down onto the tooth from above, which is what a mandibular molar requires: the operator works from over the arch rather than in line with it, and the beaks have to reach around a wide, often two-rooted tooth without slipping to the crown. Fig 73 carries one of the widest beak profiles in the extraction range, cross serrated on both faces, so grip is spread across the tooth surface instead of concentrated on one point. That distribution is what gives controlled force during socket expansion rather than a sudden crown fracture.\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 73 forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne extraction forceps for lower molars, Hawk's Bill beaks, REF 60073\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 figure patterns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForceps for other 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\u003eElevators and luxators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstruments used before forceps application\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.

The Hawk's Bill angle brings the beaks onto the tooth from above at the angle a mandibular molar is actually approached, so the operator's wrist stays neutral and the force applied runs down the long axis of the tooth rather than across it. The wide cross serrated beaks then hold that position. Where a narrower beak concentrates load on a small area of enamel and invites a crown fracture, a wide beak spreads it, which is why this pattern is favoured for molars with substantial restorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the tooth is more compromised, or where the operator wants purchase in the furcation rather than on the crown, a cow horn pattern is the alternative approach.
