New dental tool may reduce pain and fear in children during tooth pulling
NCT ID NCT07366788
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a special dental tool called Physics forceps can reduce pain, anxiety, and extraction time when removing baby molars in children aged 6-9 years. Eighty healthy children were randomly assigned to have their tooth pulled with either Physics forceps or conventional forceps. Researchers measured pain using a behavioral scale, anxiety through pulse rate and a facial image scale, and timed the procedure. The goal is to find a gentler method for kids' dental extractions.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give dentists a better way to extract baby teeth in children with less pain and anxiety.
