Upper canine forceps

The canine is a tooth with a solid and large root, slightly flattened in a mesiodistal sense and thicker on the vestibular side than on the palatine side. You can use the same instruments used in the extraction of central and lateral incisors. Although some authors (Berger) suggest that a thick bayonet forceps can also be used to make it easier to adapt to the tooth's neck. Additionally, depending on each case, you could use a upper premolar forceps.
