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 mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Physics forceps (a dental tool)
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.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 80 children, so results may not apply to all kids or settings. The tool may not work better for everyone.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: For both groups, the inclusion criteria were: 1. Children aged 6 - 9 years. 2. Healthy children with no history of neurological disorders or systemic diseases. 3. Mandibular primary molars indicated for extraction, with at least half of the root length remaining. 4. Cooperative behavior classified as Frankl 3 - 4. 5. Absence of acute inflammation or active periapical/periodontal infection at the time of extraction Exclusion Criteria: \- 1. Children who were taking medications that may alter pain perception or bleeding tendency. 2\. Teeth with insufficient root structure that made extraction technically unfeasible.
