PATENT
DENTAL FORCEPS.
A. S. YOUNG & SON,
§TO(g[i®^]=®d!M]TQ§T§ 3
185 & 187 BUCHANAN STREET,
GLASGOW,
Desire to intimate that they have reserved to themselves the exclusive
use in GLASGOW of JAMES A, YOUNG'S PATENT FORCEPS,
which cause the least possible amount of pain in the extraction of ANY
Tooth or Boot, however far decayed. This great desideratum is
secured by the many improvements embraced in their construction ; some
of the more particular of which are — the heads of the beaks are opened at
a sufficient angle to enable the operator to see the tooth or root during the
whole operation, and the curve of the handles and the inclination of the
beaks to the bodies of the instruments allowing them to be applied and
freely moved in any direction. The beaks are made to embrace only the
roots, and as every root, or combination of roots, is more or less wedge-
shaped, therefore, when the apex of the wedge is represented by that of the
root, or the approximation of the roots, the beaks of the forceps act so
near as possible as highly polished inclined planes upon a moveable wedge,
causing the tooth, root or roots, in many instances to slip or leap out of
the mouth ; but when the apex of the wedge is represented at the neck of
a tooth by the shape of a part of the root, or by the junction of two or
more roots, then the forceps secure a firm hold. These, with the other
improvements, permit the application of the smallest amount of force in
the best direction, and consequently (ceteris paribus) reduce ike pain to
a MINIMUM.
