Warranty and Our Guarantee
Every Zepf extraction forceps carries a lifetime Helmut Zepf Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. And because a forceps can only be judged in the hand, you have 60 days to return it for any reason — even after you have used it. Try it on real extractions; if it is not the instrument for you, send it back.
Made in Germany by Helmut Zepf
Helmut Zepf has manufactured dental and surgical instruments in Germany for over 100 years. Every instrument on this page is forged, ground and finished by Zepf and carries its part number for traceability.
Clinical Use
- Root grip: the beaks are shaped to seat below the cervical line and grip the root, not the crown.
- Seat before you move: push the beaks apically to full contact with the root before applying any luxating movement; a forceps that grips only the crown breaks it.
- Other Zepf forceps lines: diamond-coated Xcision-Line forceps, for a non-slip hold on smooth or fractured roots, and the Roba / exLOG editions, with tapered, deep-grip beaks, are listed in their own collections.
Care and Reconditioning
Zepf surgical instruments are resharpened, re-aligned and reconditioned by our sharpening and reconditioning service when the working end dulls. Clean, disinfect and sterilize between patients.
Our Surgical Instrument Reprocessing & Sterilization Guide covers the general workflow for Helmut Zepf extraction forceps.

FAQ
What is a No. 59 forceps used for?
The Helmut Zepf Dental Catalog lists the #59 (12.059.00Z) with its root and splinter forceps (sequester design), for gripping roots and root fragments.
Serrated or diamond-coated?
Serrated beaks are the standard; diamond coating adds grip on smooth or fractured roots and lets you extract with less squeezing force.
What are the Roba and exLOG editions?
Zepf’s RoBa-Edition forceps, developed with dentist Beck, have patented beaks with a tapered outer contour for a deep grip and concave inner contours that fit the tooth. The exLOG RoBa Edition adds a joint that comes apart into two parts for cleaning.
Is there a warranty?
Lifetime on Zepf extraction forceps under the Helmut Zepf Warranty, and 60 days to return for any reason, even after use.
