Extraction forceps.

Have been using a #13 forcep for removing 1st, 2nd, and a few 3rds
for many years (upper or lower). Especially for those that won't give
up to a nice sharp 34S. Mostly severely broken down mesials.

In addition the #13 is good for *all* bi's, cuspids, and upper
incisors.

Down grading from a #23 to a #13 works quite well for lower firsts,
many lower seconds are not anatomically shaped for the #23.

Make no mistake, a straight elevator is always used to luxate,
sever the attachment, and superior portion of the PDL first.

There is a bit of a learning curve to the use of the #13.

So what do you say, fellow practitioners ?
What is your all around favorite forcep ?
