74 Root Forceps, Serrated is built with a distinctly hooked beak rather than the straight taper most root forceps use, shaped to curl underneath a root fragment sitting low in the socket and lift it free rather than gripping and squeezing it out from above.
The serrated inner edge of the hook bites into the root surface once it is seated underneath the fragment, giving a secure enough hold to complete the retrieval on structure that a straight-beak forceps often cannot get purchase on at all. This makes it a specialist instrument rather than a general-purpose one, reached for specifically when the more common root forceps patterns have already failed to seat.
Clinically, it is used for deep or low root fragment retrieval where the remaining structure is too far below the gumline for a straight beak to reach. Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant, fully autoclavable.
