fv1609 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Could it not be used in animals for removing two-rooted teeth? The pointy bit would engage where the roots divide, it's curvature & that of the other side would engage under the bulbosity of the crown thereby forcing the forceps further below the gum. As it does so it improves the engagement of the pointy bit giving an improved grip, as it does so the outward bulbosity of the beaks press against bone of the jaw, giving & equal & opposite effect encouraging the beaks to be displaced outwards thereby elevating the tooth with it, perhaps?

Correct in principle as to how it works, but it is used to remove an inanimate object from another inaminate object. What does it remove?
