Physics Forceps: An advancement in exodontia?

Physics ForcepsHas anybody evaluated Misch’s new Physics Forceps and One Minute Extraction technique?

GoldenMisch, Inc., which produces the Physics Forceps claims that “they represent the most exciting and innovative advancement in exodontia in over 200 years.” By employing an efficient first-class lever, the Physics Forceps deliver a mechanical advantage that is useful for achieving atraumatic extractions.

In addition, the company comments that:

“A noticeable and very unique benefit of the Physics Forceps® is that they make only one point of contact with the tooth, as opposed to conventional forceps that work like pliers. The days of pulling, squeezing and twisting are now gone forever. “

What are your thoughts on this new technology? Will you be buying these and throwing out your conventional forceps?

    I have looked at these forceps on the advertising and I am wondering what happens to the buccal gingiva when it is compressed so much upon removal of the tooth.
    I once saw in a dental museum a “dental key” that rotated a tooth out of the socket and thought that seems like a great idea and why did we give up that idea

    The Bumber of the instrument is what actually braces the buccal plate. These forceps require no sqeezing, and follow a completely different technique in extracting teeth. Truly unique!

Got something to say?
