Dr Sudhoff reported at Leipzig Medical Society on ancient dental forceps noting no bronze tools of the period. He argued iron or steel were used though writers did not mention it and cited Aristotelian Mechanical Problems and iron-plated forceps in a Homburg museum. The find suggests dental forceps were common in military surgical kits.
