Atraumatic Tooth Extraction for Bone Preservation
By Eric Schuetz, DMD
Commercial Supporter: Directa AB
When teeth that need to be extracted are damaged, otherwise nonrestorable, or healthy and nonsymptomatic, preserving the natural bony architecture is paramount. Ample good-quality, natural bone remains the most significant factor contributing to long-term implant treatment functionality, esthetics, and overall success. Conventional extraction techniques using inefficient instruments can be traumatic and lead to bone loss, ridge collapse, and a more difficult site for future implant placement and stability. Atraumatically extracting teeth avoids injury to the bone, preserves the socket, and is increasingly important to ensure long-term implant function and esthetics.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
-
Identify available instruments for atraumatic tooth extraction techniques.
-
Describe the characteristics of atraumatic tooth extraction techniques and explain the significance of these techniques for dental implant success.
-
Discuss the differences between atraumatic and traumatic tooth extraction techniques.
