Instruments for Exodontics

A variety of instruments are used for extractions (Box 12.2). Dental elevators are used to engage teeth and raise them from the root socket. Extraction forceps grasp the tooth and remove it from the socket. Spring-loaded forceps are recommended (Fig. 12.2). Another useful forceps is a root removal forceps (Fig. 12.3).
