Our study compared two different forceps for extraction of mandibular molars, the conventional extraction forceps and the Physics forceps. We assesed the relative pain score, patient satisfaction, success of extraction, incidence of alveolar plate fracture and soft tissue healing; post extraction. Our results found statistical significance in comparison of both forceps under relative pain score, patient satisfaction and soft tissue healing post extraction.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Relative Pain Score | Use of a Visual Analogue Scale with 0 meaning no pain and 100 meaning severe pain | Day 1 |
| Soft Tissue Healing Post Extraction | Soft Tissue Healing Index by Landry et al. | Day 3 |
| Patient Satisfaction | 4 point likert scale where 1 is very dissatisfied and 4 is very satisfied | Day 1 |
