title: Atraumatic removal of teeth and root fragments in dental implantology.
abstract: A technique that facilitates the removal of teeth or retained root fragments without traumatizing the alveolar bone of the socket is described. This technique may be employed whenever such extractions are envisaged, but it is particularly important when the subsequent placement of dental implants is planned.
