Cover Story: There is a significant reduction in adverse events (77 fewer per 1000) with the physics forceps compared to the conventional forceps, which can be understood as 8 fewer adverse events per 100 extractions. Operating time was significantly lower in physics forceps than that of conventional forceps, mean difference −20.13 seconds (−30.11, −10.15). Based on the current evidence, physics forceps might be better than conventional extraction forceps in terms of extraction duration, pain after extraction, trauma to both hard and soft tissue, and complications, but the available evidence is limited by a high risk of bias and low evidence certainty. View this paper
