Brief Summary
Our study compared two different forceps for extraction of mandibular molars, the conventional extraction forceps and the Physics forceps. We assesed the relative pain score, patient satisfaction, success of extraction, incidence of alveolar plate fracture and soft tissue healing; post extraction. Our results found statistical significance in comparison of both forceps under relative pain score, patient satisfaction and soft tissue healing post extraction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Relative Pain Score
Use of a Visual Analogue Scale with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning severe pain
Day 1
Soft Tissue Healing Post Extraction
Soft Tissue Healing Index by Landry et al.
Day 3
Patient Satisfaction
4 point likert scale where 1 is very dissatisfied and 4 is very satisfied
Day 1
Success of Extraction
1 is Failure, 2 is limited success with osteotomy, 3 is limited success with root fracture, 4 is limited success with apical fracture and 5 is complete success
Day 1
Incidence of Alveolar Bone Fracture
Fracture 1 and No fracture 0
