Atraumatic Extraction Using Physics Forceps of a Fractured Endo Treated Cuspid Tooth with thin facial plate of bone. Physics Forceps technique is explained to extract the tooth preserving the thin facial bone.

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 force. If the crown is missing or the tooth is decayed there is no need to lay a flap because these same principles apply.
Standard Set- includes an upper anterior, upper right, upper left and a lower universal.
Posterior Set-includes 2 forceps (EZ1 and EZ2)
Pedodontic Set- same as the standard set but 30% smaller
No elevation is required. Although in some cases you may want to separate the gingival attachment from the tooth.
If used properly the Physics Forceps® will rarely cause fracture. When a rotating force is applied, the stress to the tooth and periodontal complex is increased. The force applied to the gums and bone by the bumper of the Physics Forceps® is a compressive force that braces the buccal bone. If you think there is a slight possibility we suggest taking a flame shaped diamond bur to remove buccal tooth structure a mm or two apically.
No. The Physics Forceps® virtually eliminates the need for surgical flaps.
Yes, sectioning is advised only on lower molars when roots appear to be divergent.
Yes, the rubber bumpers significantly reduce bruising to the mucosa, supporting immediate implant placement procedures.
Yes, extraction of endodontically treated teeth requires a greater distance between the bumper and beak, and requires a good purchase point. While extracting these teeth one must go exceptionally slow (suggested extra 15 to 20-seconds, or more).
Yes. When necessary, create a small trench on the lingual, with a small flame shaped diamond burr to engage the beak more securely on solid root surface.
