How do the Physics Forceps differ from the conventional forceps?
Regular extraction forceps beaks are adapted to the buccal and lingual contours of the tooth. Rotational and tractional movements are used (squeezing, pulling, grabbing). Current Instruments require two equal forces placed on the crown of the tooth, and a third force to extract the tooth with your arm. If the crown is missing or the tooth is decayed you need to lay a flap, cut the bone, and perform surgery to remove the tooth. This is time consuming, painful, and traumatic for the patient. The Physics Forceps requires no squeezing, pulling, or grabbing. Instead, once in position the handles are rotated toward the facial aspect of the tooth. The Physics Forceps require two opposing forces. The first force is placed into the lingual sulcus of the tooth below the gingival with the beak. The second force is placed on the alveolar ridge with the bumper. Therefore there is only one point of contact on the tooth with the Physics Forceps. These two opposing forces cancel the need for a third f
