The gingival attachment is freed and the periodontal ligament worked with dental elevators until the tooth is mobile. The beaks are then seated on the tooth close to the gum line and gentle rotational and rocking pressure is applied until it releases. Caps are best removed once the boundary between the cap and the permanent tooth is visible, and any sharp root spicule left behind should also be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquine veterinarians and equine dental technicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncisor, cap and root extractions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoutine dentistry in young horses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDr. Tail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel \/ SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEQI14-19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurved beak incisor \u0026amp; root extraction forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 inches (approx. 48.3 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean thoroughly after each use and dry completely.
