Tooth Extraction

Brief summary

study proposes an alternative atraumatic tooth extraction procedure; Apically achieved exodontia, which might offer an alternative to the conventional incisal exodontia, whilst providing minimum tissue trauma and subsequently maximum marginal tissue preservation.

Detailed description

A sample of 26 patients that received the extraction therapy For Group (A) patients, Atraumatic extractions using periotomes followed by conventional forceps were performed. For Group (B) patients, the novel technique of Vestibular Root Extraction was performed to the sample group's hopeless teeth.

Interventions

PROCEDUREVestibular Root Extraction

a 1-cm long vestibular access incision was cut, 3-4 mm apical to the mucogingival junction of the involved tooth, then pushing the vestibular pouch in an incisal direction exposing the apical root area, and allowing direct undisturbed access to the root surface

PROCEDUREAtraumatic extractions using periotomes followed by conventional forceps

a sulcular releasing incision suing a micro scalpel was made to detach the surrounding tissues, followed by applying the periotome interproximally into the PDL space, widening the attached periodontal ligaments space.
