18R Upper Molar Extraction Forceps, Right Side with Thumb Hook

The No. 18R is the mirror-image counterpart to the 18L, specifically designed for extracting upper first and second molars on the patient’s right side. It utilizes a side-specific beak configuration where the pointed tip engages the buccal root bifurcation of the right maxillary molars. This specialized fit allows for a more predictable extraction by spreading the force across the strongest parts of the tooth anatomy.
