  • Publication number: 20110151406
    Abstract: Dental forceps for holding dental articulating paper has dual elongated spring arms, moveable toward and away from each other. The spring arms each have a lower handle section, an intermediate section extending from the lower handle section, and an upper section with a cantilevered member extending from the top end of the intermediate section. Clamping support arms extend outward from and perpendicular to the cantilevered member of each of the spring arms. The support arms have jagged surfaces which enhance the paper holding capability of the spring arms. When the spring arms are fully biased away from each other, the support arms are closed and articulating paper is held therebetween. When the lower handle sections of the spring arms are moved together, the support arms open to release the paper.
