Surgical Techniques for Minimally Invasive Tooth Extraction

EasyChair Preprint 12677

Abstract

Minimally invasive tooth extraction techniques have emerged as a cornerstone in modern dental practice, emphasizing preservation of surrounding tissues while achieving efficient and atraumatic extraction. This review aims to explore the various surgical techniques employed in minimally invasive tooth extraction procedures.

A comprehensive analysis of the literature was conducted to identify studies detailing surgical techniques for minimally invasive tooth extraction. Key principles such as atraumatic extraction, preservation of bone and soft tissue, and minimization of trauma to adjacent structures were examined.

The review delineates several surgical techniques employed in minimally invasive tooth extraction, including the use of specialized instruments such as luxators and periotomes, as well as flapless approaches and piezoelectric instrumentation. Each technique is discussed in terms of its advantages, indications, and potential complications.

Moreover, advancements in digital dentistry, such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, have facilitated precise treatment planning and execution of minimally invasive tooth extraction procedures.

Clinical considerations such as patient selection, preoperative assessment, and management of complications are also addressed. Additionally, the review underscores the importance of continuing education and skill development for dental practitioners to proficiently perform minimally invasive tooth extraction techniques.

In conclusion, surgical techniques for minimally invasive tooth extraction represent a paradigm shift in dental practice, offering enhanced patient outcomes, reduced postoperative morbidity, and preservation of oral health. Continued research and refinement of these techniques are essential to further optimize treatment outcomes and elevate standards of care in dentistry.
