Forceps are used to aid ligament breakdown by rotational force on the tooth. It is easy to snap the crown off by using excessive force or if the tooth is levered at all.
Forceps are used to aid ligament breakdown by rotational force on the tooth. It is easy to snap the crown off by using excessive force or if the tooth is levered at all.
The forceps should grip the tooth firmly with four point contact. The best pattern for veterinary use is 76 and 76N. The pattern is almost straight with a slight offset of the beaks. The 76N has the same profile but narrower beaks and are used to grip smaller teeth for example cat teeth.

==Scalpel Blade==
The use of a scalpel blade to free the gingival attachment to the tooth is recommended for both closed and open extraction technique. A size 15 or 11 blade, used in the handle, is ideal.
==Suture Kit and Suture Material==
A suture kit with small (ophthalmic) instruments should be available. An absorbable suture material should always be used in the oral cavity. Monocryl® (polyglecaprone, Ethicon) makes a good choice of material.
