The Physics\u00ae Forceps are an atraumatic extraction system that provides a simple, predictable, and unconventional method of extracting teeth.<\/p>\n
Dentist statement: How does it work?<\/strong> When to use?<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>“Thank you very much for lending me the Physics Forc<\/u>eps Standard set. I am very enthusiastic about its ability to elevate orally, when there is an adjacent deciduous tooth. I used it on an upper first molar, where it was so easy. I did not have to section the tooth, which often must be done when there is no stable adjacent tooth”

\nThe Physics Forceps\u00ae operate as an elevator, rather than forceps, using first-class lever mechanics. One handle is connected to a “bumper,” which acts as the fulcrum, that is placed deep in the vestibule. The other handle is connected to the “beak,” which is positioned most often on the lingual or palatal root of the tooth into the gingival sulcus. No aspect of the instrument grasps the crown and there is no advanced elevation needed. Once the instrument is properly placed, the handles are rotated a few degrees with only wrist movement in a slow, steady and controlled manner \u2014 no squeezing!<\/p>\n
\nThe Physics Forceps\u00ae are effective in most cases, including badly decayed or broken down teeth, endodontically treated teeth, fractured or fragile teeth, curved or long rooted molars and cuspids, or any tooth that would historically be challenging with conventional instrumentation. The Physics Forceps\u00ae are ideal for the implantologist who wants to preserve the surrounding bone and tissue in preparation for dental implants.<\/p>\n
