Abstract
The present invention relates generally to an extraction or pliers type device, such as typically utilized by a dentist or oral surgeon. One or more individual devices are provided which establish a variable clearance established between a hook engaging portion and an offset and opposing arrayed pad support portion. A kit can establish a plurality of fixed items exhibiting the varying clearances. Alternatively, the hook engaging and pad support portions can be integrated into one or two separate components which are engaged with a further handle component.
Claims20
An oral extraction device, comprising:
- an elongated handle communicating with a hook portion for engaging a first surface associated with at least one of a tooth and a root tip;
- and
- a pad support arrayed a spaced distance relative to said hook portion and for engaging a second surface associated with a dental bridge supporting said tooth or root tip;
- said extraction device adapted for one-handed positioned and repositioning by a user prior to and during extraction of the tooth or root tip.
The device according to claim 13, a secondary component corresponding to said hook portion further comprising a bottommost socket engaging portion seating in resistively interfitting fashion within said first receiving cavity defined in said handle.
An oral extraction device, comprising:
- an elongated handle communicating with a hook portion for engaging a lingual surface associated with at least one of a tooth and a root tip;
- a pad support arrayed a spaced distance relative to said hook portion and for engaging a buccal surface associated with a dental bridge supporting said tooth or root, tip, said pad support further comprising a widthwise extending surface integrally formed with said handle and extending, via an interconnecting neck such that a pad support surface is arrayed in a predetermined spaced and opposing distance relative to a pointed tip of said hook portion;
- and
- said handle, hook portion and pad support being produced as one piece stamping and over which is applied a grip enhancing covering material.
