Tooth extraction

SURGICAL TREATMENTS

Teeth Extraction

The main goal of the dentist is to maintain the existing teeth and to rehabilitate them by therapeutic or prosthetic methods. However, when it is, radiographically and clinically, established that the performance of the tooth in the chewing function is impossible or it is responsible for causing disturbances then this leads to its removal.

Indications of tooth extraction

  • Extended caries
  • Periodontitis at an advanced stage
  • Acute or chronic pathological conditions of the pulp, in teeth that other possible therapies are not feasible (e.g. apicectomy)
  • Fracture in the middle of the root (after injury)
  • Fracture of the tooth to a point where it prevents its immobilisation
  • Numerous teeth that block the rise of normal teeth
  • In cases where there is no alternative treatment
  • For aesthetic needs
  • Remnant of the root into the jaw
