Maxillary and Mandibular Forceps Usage

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at an extraction forcep kit, detailing the differences between maxillary and mandibular forceps, and demonstrating their use on a typodont. The instructor unboxes the kit, explains the design and purpose of each type of forcep, and provides a practical demonstration of how to use them for tooth extraction. The video aims to improve upon a previous version by offering clearer explanations and better video quality.
