Name/Title
Pelican varietiesDescription
In the early fourteenth century, Guy de Chauliac invented an instrument that continued to be used into the late nineteenth century. It was called a dental pelican because of its resemblance to the beak of that bird (below). With it the operator could apply extreme leverage to loosen the tooth out of the socket.
These are various variations of that instrument from the 16th through the 19th centuries.Condition
