Trading DOWN from 23 to 13, on purpose !
Trading DOWN from 23 to 13, on purpose !
No, not stock trading, nor single malt scotch whisky.
Extraction forceps.
Have been using a #13 forcep for removing 1st, 2nd, and a few 3rds
for many years (upper or lower). Especially for those that won't give
up to a nice sharp 34S. Mostly severely broken down mesials.
In addition the #13 is good for *all* bi's, cuspids, and upper
incisors.
Down grading from a #23 to a #13 works quite well for lower firsts,
many lower seconds are not anatomically shaped for the #23.
Make no mistake, a straight elevator is always used to luxate,
sever the attachment, and superior portion of the PDL first.
There is a bit of a learning curve to the use of the #13.
So what do you say, fellow practitioners ?
What is your all around favorite forcep ?

Don't have 'one'.
Love the cowhorns on lower molars, 53 r&l on upper molars, 150
for upper bi's and anteriors, 151 for lower bi's and anteriors.
Need some good root elevators, and once in a while Cryers.
I'll have to look at a 13 though.
Nothing works perfect without patience and a plan.

Agreed.
The 13 can be used on most teeth, except for lower anteriors.
Am also using other forceps as you described.
#1 for upper anteriors and 88 R & L for upper molars.
A good 45 degree high speed with fiber optic is an important adjunct
for those stubborn 3rds and sometimes for others.

As I've gotten older, I send most of the challenging 3rds to the OS.
They can have the credit (or blame <G>).
