Tooth extraction forceps are specialized surgical instruments designed to safely and precisely remove teeth from their sockets. Clinically, they are used by dentists and oral surgeons to grip and extract both natural teeth and, in some cases, dental implants with controlled force and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
These devices are typically reusable, requiring sterilization between uses to maintain infection control. They are classified as surgical instruments and may be subject to regulatory requirements depending on the jurisdiction, including manufacturing standards, material safety, and performance testing to ensure reliability and patient safety.
