What are upper molar extraction forceps used for?
They are used to grip and remove maxillary (upper) molar teeth. The beaks are shaped for upper molar anatomy, which is why they differ from lower molar and universal forceps.

Product overview
Forceps for removing upper molars
Upper molar extraction forceps grip a maxillary molar so the dentist can loosen and remove it. The upper jaw has its own tooth anatomy, so these forceps are shaped differently from lower molar and universal forceps, and most patterns come as a right and a left.
Dental buyers usually order them by pattern number, for example 53R and 53L or 88R and 88L. Iron Art supplies upper molar forceps in bulk and under your own brand. Send a pattern number, drawing or sample and we will quote against it.
Upper first and second molars
The common 53 and 88 patterns are used for these teeth.
Upper third molars
Separate patterns such as 210H and 67 exist for wisdom teeth.
Right and left versions
Each side needs its own pattern, so list both sides in your request.
Bulk, OEM and private label

Pattern guide
Common upper molar forceps patterns
Buyers usually name the pattern in the purchase order. The table lists patterns commonly used for upper molars. Numbering can differ slightly between catalogues, so a drawing or sample is the safest reference.
What to send with your enquiry
These details let us quote without back and forth:
- Pattern number, drawing or sample
- Right, left or both sides
- Tooth group: upper first and second molars, or third molars
- Target length or beak size, if you have one
- Material and finish

Tip: if you already buy a pattern from another supplier, send a photo, drawing or
sample of it. That is the quickest way to confirm the exact pattern and dimensions.

Buyer FAQ
Upper molar extraction forceps: common questions
Short answers for buyers comparing patterns and supply options.
Which pattern numbers are used for upper molars?
Common references include 53R and 53L, 88R and 88L (Nevius), 17 and 18 (European style), 210H and 67 for upper third molars, and the universal MD2 Mead pattern. Numbering can differ slightly between catalogues, so send a drawing or sample if you need an exact match.
Why do upper molar forceps come in right and left versions?
Upper molar teeth on each side of the mouth are approached from different directions, so most upper molar patterns are made as a right and a left. List both sides in your request if you need both.
How are upper molar forceps different from lower molar forceps?
They are designed for different jaws and tooth anatomy, so the beak shape and pattern number are different. If you also stock lower molar patterns, see our lower molar extraction forceps.
Can upper molar forceps be supplied as part of a set?
Yes. Our adult extraction forceps set is typically eight pieces, with the pattern list agreed with you. Tell us which upper molar patterns you want included.
What material are the forceps made from?
They are made from stainless steel. The exact grade and surface finish are agreed with each order, so state your requirement in the request.
Are upper molar extraction forceps reusable?
Metal extraction forceps are normally reusable hand instruments that the dental practice cleans and sterilises between patients. The supply condition is stated in the quotation.
Can I order in bulk or under my own brand?
Yes. We quote bulk quantities and can add your marking and packaging on approved specifications. Quantities are discussed per request.
What should I send to get a quotation?
Send the pattern number or a drawing, the sides you need, quantity per pattern, material, finish, and your branding and packaging requirements. A photo or sample of the pattern you currently buy helps.
Do you offer OEM manufacturing for upper molar forceps?
Yes. OEM requests are reviewed against your approved sample or drawing, with sample review before production where required.
