Summary

This study looked at whether a special tool called Physics forceps can make pulling out lower baby molars less painful and less scary for children aged 6 to 9. Eighty healthy kids were randomly assigned to get the tooth pulled with either the new forceps or the usual ones. Researchers measured pain, anxiety (by heart rate and a face scale), and how long the extraction took. The goal is to find a better way to do dental extractions in children.
