A real Practice Builder, they dramatically reduce the amount of time required to extract teeth and make the whole procedure much more comfortable and pleasant for both the operator and patient. Physics Forceps have a revolutionary “beak & bumper” design that enables Dentists to extract teeth using wrist movement only – no more “reaching for the apex”. Dramatically reducing the stress and strain experienced by patients they also help preserve the buccal plate of bone, which is vital for the patient’s long term dental health and success of future treatment options including dentures, bridges and implants. Significantly reducing both the surgeon’s and patient’s time and associated stress they are a breakthrough in patient care. To all intents and purposes they eliminate the need for surgical flaps, facilitate efficient extraction of practically every tooth ( no matter what the condition ) and achieve virtually atraumatic extractions in just a few minutes.
