3) How do the Physics Forceps® differ from the conventional forceps?
Regular extraction forceps’ beaks are adapted to the buccal and lingual contours of the tooth. Rotational and tractional movements are used (squeezing, pulling, grabbing). Current Instruments require two equal forces placed on the crown of the tooth, and a third force to extract the tooth with your arm. If the crown is missing or the tooth is decayed you need to lay a flap, cut the bone, and perform surgery to remove the tooth. This is time consuming, painful, and traumatic for the patient.
The Physics Forceps® requires no squeezing, pulling, or grabbing. Instead, once in position the handles are rotated toward the facial aspect of the tooth. The Physics Forceps® require two opposing forces. The first force is placed into the lingual sulcus of the tooth below the gingival with the beak. The second force is placed on the alveolar ridge with the bumper. Therefore there is only one point of contact on the tooth with the Physics Forceps. These two opposing forces cancel the need for a third force. If the crown is missing or the tooth is decayed there is no need to lay a flap because these same principles apply.
4) Where are the instruments made?
The Physics Forceps® Instruments are made of Premium 410 German Stainless Steel Forgings and final production takes place in Germany.
5) How many instruments are there?
Standard Set- includes an upper anterior, upper right, upper left and a lower universal.
Third Molar Set-includes upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left and a distal elevator
Pedodontic Set- same as the satndard set but 30% smaller
6) How much does the GMX Series set of 4 instruments cost? Individually?
All pricing is stated in our shopping cart under the BUY tab.
7) Is there a warranty with the Physics Forceps®?
There is a 10 year limited manufactures warranty along with a 90-day money back guarantee as long as the warranty information sheet is signed and faxed back to GoldenMisch. Any returned instruments will be charged an $200.00 restocking fee.
8) Is elevating required with the Physics Forceps®?
No elevation is required. Although in some cases you may want to separate the gingival attachment from the tooth.
9) Do the Physics Forceps® fracture the buccal bone?
If used properly the Physics Forceps® will rarely cause fracture. When a rotating force is applied, the stress to the tooth and periodontal complex is increased. The force applied to the gums and bone by the bumper of the Physics Forceps® is a compressive force that braces the buccal bone. If you think there is a slight possibility we suggest taking a flame shaped diamond bur to remove buccal tooth structure a mm or two apically.
10) Do you need to reflect a flap with these instruments?
No. The Physics Forceps® virtually eliminates the need for surgical flaps.
11) Does the Physics Forceps® work on teeth that have divergent roots?
Yes, sectioning is advised only on lower molars when roots appear to be divergent.
12) Is sectioning required with the Physics Forceps®?
All upper teeth including molars can be extracted without any sectioning. Lower molars with divergent roots can be sectioned to ensure a more predictable extraction, by significantly reducing resistance to extracting forces (due to bone density and curvation of roots).
13) What is the rubber bumper made of?
Latex-free surgical grade plastic.
14) Does the use of the disposable rubber bumper diminish soft tissue trauma, bruising, and post-op discomfort?
Yes, the rubber bumpers significantly reduce bruising to the mucosa, supporting immediate implant placement procedures.
15) Are the bumpers autoclavable/disposable?
No. The bumper guards are disposable and made for single use only.
16) Can the Physics Forceps® be used on 3rd molars?
Depending on the patients’ anatomy and degree of eruption, the Physics Forceps® can occasionally be used on 3rd molars.
17) Do the Physics Forceps® work on endodontically treated teeth?
Yes, extraction of endodontically treated teeth requires a greater distance between the bumper and beak, and requires a good purchase point. While extracting these teeth one must go exceptionally slow (suggested extra 15 to 20-seconds, or more).
18) Do the instruments work on teeth that have been decayed at the gumline?
Yes. When necessary, create a small trench on the lingual, with a small flame shaped diamond burr to engage the beak more securely on solid root surface.
19) Can they extract root tips?
Yes, if one can engage the beak into the lingual or palatal sulcus of the root, the root tips can easily be removed with out reflecting a flap. If necessary, create a trench (with a flame shaped diamond bur) to obtain a good purchase point.
20) Does the P.F. fracture root tips?
No, if the root is intact it will not disengage from the socket until the entire piece is dislodged.
21) Do you deliver the tooth right away with the Physics Forceps?
The Physics Forceps is designed to disengage the tooth. Deliverly is entirely up to the ability of the doctor. We recommend using what ever the doctor is most comfortable with, for instance, a rongeur, hemostat, etc after the disengagement has occured with the Physics Forceps.
22) How much vertical movment of a tooth does there need to be before the ligament breaks (letting loose of the tooth)?
It is usually within 1mm.
23) How much horizontal movement does there have to be to get the needed verticla movement that releases the ligament?
Minimal, and the method to achieve this is to make sure that the bumper is seated well apically in order to achieve the arc of rotation.
24) Which teeth are contraindictated for using these forceps?
Difficult root anatomy? None
Curved roots, bulbous roots, or flared roots on a multi-rooted tooth? None
Teeth in esthetics zone of discriminating patients? None
Teeth where you want immediate implant placement? None
None, (except for impacted teeth) again with operator knowledge of how to handle different situations, any erupted tooth including crown facturs are canidates.
25) What are some reccomendations on how to hold the Physics Forceps?
Images comming soon!
26) What forms of payment do you accept?
For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
27) How is sales tax calculated?
Tax is calculated depending on the State where the order is being billed.
