The fulcrum rests against the neighboring teeth, turning the forceps into a lever so the tooth can be lifted out with controlled force once it has been loosened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForceps of this pattern are commonly used for extracting the first and second premolars, and can also be used on other cheek teeth.

The serrated jaws are seated firmly on the crown and the tooth is loosened with slow, low-amplitude oscillation. Once the tooth is mobile, the fulcrum is positioned against the adjacent teeth and gentle pressure on the handles levers the tooth out of its socket. Avoid twisting, which can fracture the crown.\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\u003ePremolar and cheek tooth extractions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractitioners who want leverage built into the forceps\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\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEQI2-13, EQI2-16, EQI2-19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFulcrum serrated molar extraction forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJaws\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerrated, with integrated fulcrum block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\", 16\" or 19\" (select above)\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\u003eScrub the serrations with a soft brush after each use, rinse and dry completely.
