This invention is designed to facilitate the efficient and minimally traumatic extraction of teeth by optimizing the extraction trajectory. The device includes a tooth gripper mechanism, a central differential system, and a force transfer mechanism, all controlled by an actuator screw. This innovative design aims to reduce tissue trauma and extraction effort, making it easier and quicker for dentists to perform extractions.

This technology reduces post-operative trauma and enhances the efficiency of dental extractions, potentially lowering healthcare costs and improving patient outcomes. It simplifies the extraction process for dentists, making it more accessible and reducing the learning curve for new practitioners.
- Optimized Extraction Trajectory: Utilizes a central differential gear system to achieve an optimal extraction path with minimal resistance.
- Differential Displacement: Allows different displacements for extraction arms based on the resistance faced by the periodontal ligament and root anchorage.
- Minimal Controls: The device is easy to use with only two main controls (actuator and gripping screws).
- Features a revolute joint for self-adjusting grippers that conform to tooth curvature.
