What was early Western dental extraction instrument like?

A wide array of dental extraction instruments were devised in the West. Until anesthesia was invented, priority had been given to extracting a patient’s tooth quickly so as to lessen their pain. The pelican, a Western dental extraction instrument, was named as its claw looked like the beak of a pelican and had been used over many years (around 1400-1750). In addition, another instrument was called a tooth key because its tip looked like a door key.
Tooth keys were used with their fulcrum put on the tooth or gum when extracting a tooth, resulting in hurting them, which was one of their downsides. Despite that, thanks to their convenience, they were used as handy instruments throughout the world (around 1750-1850). After anesthesia was invented and became widespread, pelicans and tooth keys ceased to be used gradually and forceps like a pair of pliers and elevators, which elevate the root of a tooth to pull it out, came into wide use instead.
