The prongs are seated firmly at the corners of the clinical crown, and the tooth is loosened with slow, low-amplitude side-to-side oscillation, increasing movement only as it loosens. Avoid twisting the forceps. A molar fulcrum can be used for the final lift.\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\u003eOral extraction of premolars and molars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractices treating horses and ponies of different sizes\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\u003eEQI6-13, EQI6-16, EQI6-19\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour prong root molar extraction forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJaw Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo prongs per jaw, symmetrical\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\u003eClean thoroughly after each use and dry completely.
