title: Forceps extraction of teeth with severe internal root resorption.
abstract: Many treatment plans require a dental practitioner to maintain the entire labial cortical plate of bone when removing an anterior maxillary tooth. A tooth with an undermined root secondary to an endodontic perforation or internal (Idiopathic) resorption can present a surgical challenge to the general practitioner. This article describes a new technique for extracting a severely undermined anterior maxillary tooth while maintaining the entire labial cortex of bone.
