Take the frustration out of extractions. Utilizing a minimally invasive 9-step approach, we will guide you through closed extractions. Following this, the sectioning of multi-rooted teeth will be presented. Following sectioning, multirooted teeth are treated as single-root extractions. Finally, some extractions (especially canine and carnassial teeth and teeth with ankylosis) are better performed after the creation of gingival flaps and the removal of bone to ease the extraction process.
