Ready caps often release with only mild pressure, and any sharp root spicule left behind should also be removed. For cheek teeth, the tooth is prepared first: sedation and a local nerve block, gingival elevation and gradual widening of the interdental spaces with molar spreaders. The jaws are then seated firmly on the crown and the tooth is loosened with slow, low-amplitude oscillation. 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\u003eDental care in young horses (caps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtracting loose teeth and retrieving fractured crowns\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\u003eEQI7-13, EQI7-16, EQI7-19, EQI7-21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSerrated jaw cap \u0026amp; molar extraction forceps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJaws\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep serrated; broad curved jaw opposing narrow jaw\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\", 16\", 19\" or 21\" (select above)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (13\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1.7 lb (27 oz \/ 0.77 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (21\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4.12 lb (66 oz \/ 1.87 kg)\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.
