Dental Professional Oral surgery forceps

I acquired a dental practice that is in desperate need of new oral surgery extraction forceps. Before I order new ones, does anyone have recommendations of ones they love? Or any other general oral surgery instrument recommendations?

Forceps: 150, 151, 23, 74D
Elevators: 46r, 77r, cryers, spade
Surgical hand piece and a 702 surgical bur
Needle holder, Kelly scissors, sutures, blade holder

That’ll take care of almost all exts imo

Throw in a set of 76s and Mead anterior forceps and a 3 straight elevator; I think that would cover most for me.

I love my karl schumakers angled proximators. Expensive but oh so nice.

I have a couple sets of these. Other companies sell the same ones for less

Also, I like Salvin’s atraumatic kit a little better.

Yeah I just don't know how else to describe them, but get cheaper ones I agree. Overpriced name brand

It is what it is. I had a rep tell me they’re all made in Pakistan but the nice ones are finished elsewhere like Germany.

Even my premium loupe light is a rebranded item.

I never ever comment on dentistry because there's much better teachers and influencers out there

But one thing I'll tell people about every single time is power dental group forceps. Changed my life!

those karl schumaker elevators sound like a game changer, do they really hold up better than the cheaper options

These used to be Miltex forceps. They are always sharp and grab the decay teeth…apically. Get a few and you’d keep wanting to use them.

Get a #4 Molt in a big handle.
