It is the straight upper anterior pattern, and in most practices it is the single most used forceps on the tray, because upper anteriors are the most accessible teeth in the mouth and the ones most often removed for trauma, failed root treatment or as part of a denture case. The beaks meet in line with the handles rather than at an angle, which suits a tooth approached directly from the front, and cross serrated faces hold the grip through the rotational movement that a single conical root allows.\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 1 forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne extraction forceps for upper centrals and canines, REF 60001\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.

An upper anterior sits at the front of the arch and is approached head on, so there is no need for the bends and angles that a posterior tooth demands, and a straight instrument gives the operator the clearest possible view of the beaks as they are seated. Upper centrals and canines also have a single, broadly conical root, which permits a rotational component to the extraction movement in a way that a multi-rooted molar does not. That rotation only works if the grip holds, which is what the cross serrations are for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the pattern also takes the roots of the same teeth, it covers a retained anterior root that is still substantial.
