    Area of Science:

    • Dental Surgery
    • Orthodontics
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Standard dental forceps present ergonomic challenges for dentists with smaller hands.
    • Limited accessibility and control during extraction can lead to complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the difficulties faced by small-handed dentists during tooth extraction.
    • To propose an innovative modification to standard upper dental forceps.

    Main Methods:

    • Design modification of standard upper dental forceps.
    • Introduction of an 'open-bladed' design feature.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed forceps maintain a 5 mm gap between blades when handles are closed.
    • This design aims to improve grip and maneuverability for small-handed operators.

    Conclusions:

    • The 'open-bladed' forceps design offers a potential solution for small-handed dentists.
    • This modification could enhance efficiency and patient outcomes in dental extractions.
