Dental tool
As goutweed also a historical instrument in dentistry referred to the mid-18th century was developed and tooth extraction was used (known developer of Geißfüßen example, were Walther Hermann Ryff , Louis L'Écluse, Johann Friedrich Goertz, Savigny, Friedrich Hirsch / Hirschfeld and Jakob Calmann Linderer). Although it is still available today, it is rarely used because the resulting leverage increases the risk of a jaw fracture when a tooth is removed. It is similar to a Bein's lever with the front end angled by 90 °.
