1 Upper Anterior Apical Forceps, Vertical Extraction for Incisors & Cuspids

The #1 Upper Anterior Apical Forcep is a specialized tool designed for the straightforward extraction of upper front teeth, specifically incisors and cuspids. This instrument features a straight handle and thin, tapered beaks that allow for deep penetration into the periodontal space. This “apical” design is crucial for gaining a firm purchase on the root surface, especially in cases where the crown is compromised or broken. The primary use is to apply vertical pressure and slight rotation to luxate the tooth from its socket while preserving the surrounding alveolar bone. Its streamlined shape ensures that you maintain a clear line of sight during the procedure. Doctors select the #1 Apical Forcep because it provides better tactile feedback compared to bulkier universal models, making it the top choice for atraumatic extractions in the aesthetic zone. The surgical-grade steel construction ensures a non-slip grip and long-term durability through heavy sterilization cycles.
