A new atraumatic system for tooth removal and immediate implant restoration.
Methods for extracting teeth have remained remarkably static over the decades, with trauma to the surrounding tissues continuing to be a common occurrence. This article reviews the mechanisms involved in traditionally extracting teeth,and discusses a technological breakthrough that enables nonmolar intact teeth to be extracted mechanically and atraumatically. The benefits of using this technology include preservation of the adjacent papillae and underlying host bone, along with dramatically improved patient experiences. Teeth that are extracted with an innovative system may be immediately replaced with implants.
