Pediatric Forceps
Forcep to remove Maxillary deciduous teeth are as follows
- 150s
- 151s
The pediatric forceps #150S is used to remove maxillary deciduous teeth and is a scaled down version of the #Dental Forceps – 150. The # Extracting Forceps – 151S, a smaller version of the Extracting Forceps – 151, is used to remove mandibular deciduous teeth.

MANDIBULAR MOLARS FORCEPS
Mandibular Molars Forceps
Lower Jaw Molar Extracting Forceps
There are several popular extraction forceps for the mandibular molars, including the
- #15
- #16
- #17
- #217
- #222.
FORCEPS #15
Forceps #15areused to remove mandibular first and second molars. The beaks have concave inner surfaces with a pointed projection on the tips. These forceps work well in grasping the crown with the two projecting tips extending to the bifurcation between the two roots on mandibular third molars. The left handle on the #15 has a finger rest.
FORCEPS #16
Dental-Forceps No. 16 and Dental-Forceps No. 16s are used to remove mandibular molars. The #16 forceps are nick named mandibular cow horns when they are open. The left handle on the #16 has a finger rest.
FORCEPS #17
Dental Forceps No. 17, like the #15 and #16 forceps, are used on lower first and second molars. The beaks of the #17 forceps are similar to the beaks of the #15 forceps; however, the handle of the #17 is straight.

DENTAL EXTRACTION FORCEPS FOR LOWER JAW
Mandibular Incisors, Cuspids, and Bicuspids – Dental Forceps Blog
Mandibular Incisors, Cuspids, and Bicuspids
Dental Extraction Forceps for Lower JawTwo commonly used extraction forceps for the mandibular anteriors and bicuspids are
Dental Forceps No. 151
Dental Forceps No. 203
FORCEPS #151
Forceps #151 are used primarily to extract mandibular anteriors, bicuspids, and roots and are often known as the mandibular universal forceps. These forceps are similar to the #150 forceps except the beaks are set at an angle opposite to the slightly curved handles.FORCEPS #203
Forceps #203 are used on mandibular anterior, bicuspids, and roots. These forceps are like the #101 (mentioned later), except the beaks are more sharply angled from the handles. Like the #101 handles, the #203 handles are straight (fig. 5-40). - - January 13, 2019
SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS PASSIVATION – RUST PREVENTION
How Instruments are made resistant to rusting and reacting with acidic elements during the operation.
“The removal of exogenous iron or iron compounds from the surface of stainless steel by means of a chemical dissolution, most typically by a treatment with an acid solution that will remove the surface contamination but will not significantly affect the stainless steel itself”In addition, it also describes passivation as “the chemical treatment of stainless steel with a mild oxidant, such as a nitric acid solution, for the purpose of enhancing the spontaneous formation of the protective passive film.”
In layman’s terms, the passivation process removes “free iron” contamination left behind on the surface of the stainless steel as a result of machining and fabricating processes. These contaminants are potential corrosion sites which, if not removed, result in premature corrosion and ultimately result in deterioration of the component.

HAWKBILL TYPE FORCEPS
Dental Forceps for Mandibular Anterior and Bicuspids There are three hawkbill-type forceps: the Mead #MD3, the #Dental Forceps No. 13, and the #Dental Forceps No. 22. The Mead #3 forceps are used on mandibular anterior and bicuspids, the #13 forceps are used on mandibular first, second bicuspids, and the #22 forceps on mandibular first, second, and third molars. The beaks are perpendicular to the working action of the handles. This design gives the dentist a great deal of leverage with minimum effort. The major difference between these forceps is the width of the beaks because they are used to remove different teeth.

MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS CARE AND HANDLING
Instruments Care and Handling
- Medical Tools Instruments last for years with proper care and handling. Please use these guidelines for all stainless steel instruments.
- Brand new instruments should be cleaned prior to first sterilization.
- Contaminated instruments should be processed as soon as possible.
- Stubborn protein particles can be removed with a scrub brush. Never use steel wool, abrasives or an acid rinse.
- Open joints on instruments prior to preparation
- Do not use multipurpose detergents to wash or soak instruments. Instead, use a low-suds detergent specifically designed for instruments. The pH should never be higher than 8. When using ultrasonic, a detergent with a pH of 6, 7 or 8.
- Lubrication is vital to a long instrument life.
- Avoid silicone lubricants because they tend to build up and mix with debris to clog moving parts, which becomes almost impossible to remove. Debris buildup can have a “rust-like” appearance.
- Rinse your cleaned instruments

DENTAL TERMINOLOGY
Abscess A swollen area within the tissues contains an accumulation of pus.
Acid etch A way that dentist’s use to stick or bond restorations using special chemicals.

STERILIZATION WITH STERILIZATION CASSETTES
Sterilization and Sterilization Cassettes
The use of instrument cassettes facilitates instrument processing and can greatly enhance the organization of instruments. It also keeps all the instruments for a specific procedure together from the chairside procedure through cleaning, rinsing, drying, and sterilization. Following completion of dental treatment, instruments can be arranged in the cassette, transported to the instrument processing area, and placed in the ultrasonic cleaner as a unit. The cassette also can be rinsed and dried in this manner. In addition, a cassette system can reduce the direct handling of potentially contaminated instruments before sterilization. Furthermore, instruments prearranged in the cassette will require less handling following sterilization.
Perforated cassettes are preferable since completely solid containers will not allow steam or chemical vapor to reach the contents and allow sterilization to occur. Cassettes

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION
While considering methods for sterilization procedures, it is important to differentiate between sterilization and disinfection.
* Sterilization kills all viable microorganisms.
* Disinfection only reduces the number of viable microorganisms.
High-level disinfection will kill most vegetative microorganisms but will not kill the more resistant bacterial spores. Commonly used disinfectants such as alcohol, iodophors, quaternary ammonium and phenolic compounds are not effective sterilants and, therefore, are not acceptable for use on items intended to be used in survival surgical procedures.
The preferred methods of sterilization are high-pressure steam/temperature (in autoclaves) for items that can withstand high temperature and ethylene oxide gas for items that cannot withstand high temperature. However, cold chemical sterilants may be used effectively for many items.
Approved sterilization procedures:
* High pressure/temperature steam sterilization
