Question clinicians often ask: Why not just use one universal wisdom-tooth forceps for both sides? The honest answer is that left and right upper third molars don’t sit at mirror-identical angles in every patient, and a beak curved for one side tends to slip or require excessive rotation on the other. Article-NES-072 solves that by offering a dedicated left-curved beak within the Fig. 67.5 series.
This model shares its narrower, more refined tip profile with its right-sided counterpart (NES-071), positioned as a middle ground between the standard Fig 67 forceps and the more aggressive Fig 65L design. The result is an instrument suited to upper left wisdom teeth with moderate root convergence or slightly restricted access.
Built from surgical stainless steel and finished to resist corrosion through repeated autoclave cycles, NES-072 keeps its edge and beak alignment intact well beyond a typical instrument’s expected service life. The handle geometry matches the rest of the NES extracting forceps line, so switching between models mid-procedure doesn’t require the hand to relearn a new grip.
Priced at $28, this piece rounds out a complete third-molar set when paired with its right-hand twin and the general-purpose Fig. 67 model, giving practices full coverage for wisdom tooth extractions across varied root presentations.
