Cowhorn Forceps (Extraction Forceps)

Cowhorn Forceps are specialized dental extraction instruments designed for removing mandibular molars, particularly those with intact bifurcated roots. The name “cowhorn” comes from the distinctive curved beaks of the forceps, which resemble a cow’s horns. These beaks are engineered to grip deeply into the furcation (the space between the roots) and elevate the tooth out of its socket with minimal bone loss.
