In extracting the upper molars, and particularlythe first and second, as thej have each three roots—two external and one internal—two pairs of forcepsare required, one pair for each side of the mouth;the blades of which should be well fitted to the pecu-liar form of this class of teeth, as already should be applied, like that for the bicuspidati,with the longest blade—the one having the single con-cave on the inner or palate side of the tooth. Thisblade should be forced firmly to the edge of the alveolarprocess, and the central point of the outer,-or doubleconcave blade should be forced under the edge ofthe process, so that it shall fairly enter the bifurca-tion of the external roots of the tooth, and the edgesof the concavities shall be in apposition with the edgeof the process. The motions should then be forwardand backward, to rupture the membranes, and then Fig. tractile. These teeth being large and so firmly planted,,require often a very considerable force for their re-moval ; but with such an instrument so applied there INSTRUMENTS FOR EXTRACTIN(i TEETH. 137 will be no danger of its slipping, or but very littledanger of breaking the tooth, or of failure of the wisdom teeth in this jaw, the forcepsshould be applied, as nearly as may be, in the samemanner, and with great care; but, from the size ofthese teeth, a smaller pair of forceps than the com-mon molar usually answer best. (I generally usemy childrens forceps for these teeth.) As the rootsof these teeth are generally close together, and fre-quently all united, a small pair of forceps, of thesame general form as the o
