A Novel Forceps Design Technique for Efficient Extraction of Mandibular Molars with Compromised Walls

Tooth extraction requires techniques that minimize tissue damage, yet alveolar bone fracture remains a common complication. The complexity increases when extracting mandibular molars with compromised wall support. This technical note introduces a novel forceps that combines a thin cowhorn like beak with a conventional mandibular third molar beak, enabling secure furcation engagement and controlled force application. The design aims to simplify extractions of grossly decayed mandibular molars, minimize trauma, and improve ease of use for both novice and experienced clinicians, offering a potential atraumatic alternative to conventional methods.
