In this paper, we introduce and study a new paraconsistent inference relation ⊧
c
in the setting of 3-valued paraconsistent logics. Using inconsistency forgetting as a key mechanism for recovering consistency, it guarantees that the deductive closure
$Cn_{\models_c}(\Sigma)$
of any belief base
Σ
is classically consistent and classically closed. This strong feature, not shared by previous inference relations in the same setting, allows to interpret an inconsistent belief base as a set of classical worlds (hence to reason classically from them).
