Various atraumatic tooth extraction techniques have gained popularity over the last few decades, and numerous instruments have been devised for the same. A pair of physics forceps is one such instrument that maintains the integrity of the gingival and surrounding periodontium while delivering the tooth out of the socket atraumatically. Extractions using these forceps are less invasive over conventional forceps using less intraoperative time but are technique sensitive and have a definitive learning curve.
