Minimally invasive extractions with physics forceps - clinical evaluation and comparison

Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2024 Apr 30;66(2):235-242. doi: 10.3897/folmed.66.e122678.

Abstract

Tooth extraction is still one of the most common dental procedures, routinely performed for a variety of reasons. Tooth extraction forceps and elevators are well-known extraction instruments which have been the standard in tooth extraction procedures for well over a hundred years. Physics forceps are one possible alternative, aiming to perform less traumatic and more predictable extractions.

Keywords: atraumatic minimally invasive physics forceps tooth extraction.
