Abstract
Tooth extraction often results in trauma, leading to loss of alveolar bone and soft tissue. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the efficacy of physics forceps and conventional forceps in extracting non-carious and carious teeth. The results show significant differences in operating time, intra-operative complications and postoperative pain for carious teeth extractions, with physics forceps performing better. However, for non-carious teeth, only operating time was significantly reduce with physics forceps. Thus, we show the understanding of physics forceps as an effective tool for reducing complications and pain in carious tooth extractions.
