Excerpt from The British Journal of Dental Science, Vol. 22: January-December 1879 In consequence of the liability which undoubtedly exists, even in cases under the care of the most skilful Dentists, to such accidents, many Operators are very chary of using the elevator in the extraction of the stumps of such teeth in the upper jaw as are likely to be in relation with the maxillary sinus, saying, and with much truth, that the use of the elevator is attended with more risk of entering the antrum than that of the forceps. Personally, however, if I may speak from limited experience and observation, I think the increased risk is so small, provided care and suitable eleva tors be employed, as not to warrant us in, rejecting the aid afforded by so valuable an instrument.
