Tooth extraction
Tooth extraction is an operation that is performed only as a last resort, when it is no longer possible to avoid surgical intervention. Modern dentistry is built on the preservation of teeth, but there are situations when this is the only correct solution.
In what cases should a tooth be removed?
During life, various situations arise in which there are indications for tooth extraction. These can be diseases of the tooth or the maxillofacial system, which are at such a stage when the use of other treatment options does not make sense or is no longer possible.
Indications for tooth extraction
Let's consider the main indications for tooth extraction, which can be conditionally divided into several groups:
Injury:
• longitudinal tooth/root fracture;
• fracture of the crown part without the possibility of further recovery;
• fracture of the jaw - removal of teeth in the area of the fracture
