Key Features
- exLOG® #18 Design: Specially configured for upper left molar extractions, the beaks are shaped to achieve a deep and parallel grip on the tooth, improving control and reducing the risk of crown fracture.
- Diamond Coated Jaws: The diamond coating on the jaws enhances grip security, minimizing slippage and allowing for more efficient luxation and extraction movements. This upper molar extraction forceps diamond coated surface provides superior tactile feedback compared to standard instruments.
- Special Beaks for Deep Parallel Grip: The beak geometry is engineered to seat apically, enabling the clinician to engage the tooth structure below the cementoenamel junction for a more stable, predictable extraction.
- Made in Germany: Manufactured by Helmut Zepf GmbH to strict German quality standards, ensuring long-term durability and consistent instrument performance.

Using an upper molar extraction forceps diamond coated instrument such as the exLOG® #18 can help reduce procedural time and improve patient outcomes by promoting a more controlled, atraumatic extraction technique. The deep parallel grip beak design works in harmony with the diamond-textured jaws to maintain consistent contact throughout the extraction sequence.

FAQ
What makes this forceps suitable for upper left molars? The exLOG® #18 features specially angled beaks designed to access and grip the upper left molar anatomy effectively, facilitating a stable and controlled extraction.
What is the advantage of diamond coated jaws? The diamond coating increases friction between the instrument jaws and the tooth surface, reducing the likelihood of slippage and enabling the clinician to apply controlled force more efficiently — a hallmark of the upper molar extraction forceps diamond coated design.
