Abstract: A dental forceps that include an elongated handle and a pair of tooth engaging members or jaws extending out of the one end of the handle and a post located in the handle with a disc at the top with a ball at the other end of the post. The post ball end inserts into the post ball holder to provide a stable support so that the dentist has leverage to extract the tooth straight out. The post disc and post ball provide the forceps with side-to-side and back-and-forth movement, thus allowing the forceps to align to the growth angle of the tooth to be extracted.

Abstract: A pliers is provided, including a first clamping body and a second clamping body. The first clamping body has two first jaw portions and two first gripping portions, and the two first jaw portions are associated respectively with the two first gripping portions and are capable of being open or closed relative to each other. The second clamping body has a clamping jaw and a second gripping portion, the second clamping body and the first clamping body are pivotally connected to each other at a location between the clamping jaw and the second gripping portion, and the clamping jaw and the two first jaw portions are capable of being open or closed relative to each other.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for seating or orienting a component relative to a dental fixture. The device comprises three arms, each having a gripping surface, for holding said component, and the device further comprises a driver tube and a driver having an interchangeable tip for engaging the head of a screw for securing the component to the dental fixture.

Abstract: A system for removing dental prosthetics and restorations effectively and efficiently without damaging the dental prosthetic or restoration and with minimal discomfort to a patient is disclosed. The system features central holder designed for receiving and securely supporting a single or plurality of support arms in a spaced apart arrangement, whereby each support arm is capable of supporting an adjustable and pivoting attachment designed to adhesively engage and remove a dental prosthetic and restoration with the application of force. The system also features a plurality of independent attachments that can be used to adhesively engage and effectively remove a dental prosthetic and restoration with the application of force.

Abstract: A hand-held and operated instrument suitable for removal of a molar or premolar tooth of an animal, in this particular application, a horse. The device includes the combination of a unique forcep design which articulates via a threaded communication with a drive unit contained within a housing, by which the operator, from outside the mouth, may cause with substantial increase in advantage, the forcep to move in a direction opposite that of the drive housing unit which will then act as a counter-bearing surface upon the teeth or other aspects of the mouth immediately adjacent to the tooth to be extracted. Thus removing or lifting the tooth grasped by the forceps vertically from its socket.

Abstract: A matrix band guide for use in simultaneously applying a matrix band to a plurality of teeth. The guide is a flexible elongated member having a plurality of slots. The elongated member is of sufficient length and of sufficient width to allow placement of the guide against the teeth and to guide the matrix band around the teeth. The slots are of a width, height and spacing sufficient to permit the looping of the matrix band through the slots to form a plurality of loops for binding engagement with the teeth. When the matrix band is drawn into binding engagement with the teeth, the elongated member and the matrix band substantially conform to the taper and curvature of the teeth.The guide, may have a mounting means for mounting the elongated member to a conventional matrix retainer in such a manner that the matrix band can be drawn into binding engagement with the teeth by the conventional matrix retainer.The elongated member may also be shaped to substantially conform to the alignment of the teeth.
