Extractions
are a necessary part of dental care. Hopeless teeth must be removed
to establish a healthy mouth. Just because a tooth feels "firm"
in the socket does not mean that the tooth is healthy. Dental x-rays
reveal which teeth are healthy and which teeth are diseased. This
must be done prior to extraction to reveal any underlying disease
that has not been discovered. Extractions WILL NOT result in broken
jaws if the extractions are done properly.

The
principles of extraction include: |
 |
|
| |
|
| 1. |
The top 1/3
of the alveolar bone surrounding the tooth has 2/3 of the holding
power |
| 2. |
Periodontal
fibers are not designed to withstand slow continuous torque |
| 3. |
Multirooted
teeth are transformed into single rooted teeth |
| 4. |
Preservation
of gingiva |
| 5. |
Complete extraction
of root confirmed by x-ray |
| 6. |
Closure of alveolus |
| |
|
|
 |
|
|
The technique includes non-surgical and surgical extractions.
Non-surgical extractions are those accomplished with simple elevation
and traction. These are usually Stage 5 and 6 periodontally involved teeth.
Instrumentation is limited to simple extraction forceps, fingers, or needle
holders.

|
| 1. |
Flap creation |
| 2. |
Removal of crestal bone
(osteoplasty) |
| 3. |
Isolation of roots
(sectioning) |
| 4. |
Elevation of
roots |
