Extraction forceps for small hands.
Abstract
This paper discusses the problems encountered by small handed dentists when extracting teeth using standard forceps. An alteration in the design of standard upper forceps is proposed which will be advantageous to small handed dentists. The new design is 'open bladed', that is, when the handles are closed the blades are manufactured to be 5 mm apart.
