Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide forceps for removing a dental implant fixture, in which pinching portions securely hold a fixture to remove the fixture implanted in an alveolar bone, and thus to prevent the pinching portions from slipping out of the fixture. Forceps for removing a dental implant fixture according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention include: a pair of handles; coupling portions extended from the handles, crossed, and hingedly coupled; pinching portions connected to the coupling portions; and holding pieces protruding from ends of the pinching portions in a direction toward a center of a dental implant fixture and each having an arc corresponding to at least a part of an outer circumference of the fixture so that the holding pieces are inserted into a trough of a threaded portion formed on the outer circumference of the fixture.
