Extraction of Teeth involves removing teeth from the mouth. There are two main methods - intra-alveolar extraction which uses dental forceps, and trans-alveolar extraction which uses surgical techniques. Proper technique is important to remove the tooth with minimal trauma. Factors like tooth condition, location in the mouth, and related anatomy determine the appropriate tools and extraction method used.

be designed to grip the
different root patterns
 The angulation design of
the blades in relation to
the joint and handles
should be made to
facilitate gripping of the
tooth at CEJ

44. Rules of using dental forceps
 1-The patient is seated comfortably in the
chair after adjusting the chair to the
appropriate height , the apron fitted
around the patient and aseptic technique
should be followed , inspecting the tooth to
be extracted and the instruments required
for operation are selected

45. Rules of using dental forceps
 2-The forceps are then picked up in the
operator’ s right hand with the thumb
finger supporting it at its joint and the
forceps handles in the palm of the hand
this position gives the operator firm grip
and fine control over the instrument

46. Rules of using dental forceps
 In the upper molar and premolar forceps the
curved side of the handles should rest in the
palm of the hand
 3-In extraction of maxillary teeth , retract the lip
and cheek and support the alveolar process
using the thumb and index finger of the left hand
 4-In extraction of the left mandibular teeth , the
middle and the index fingers of the left hand
grips and supports the alveolar process around
the tooth being extracted, while the thumb is
used to support the mandible

47. Rules of using dental forceps
 In extraction of the right mandibular teeth
the operator should stand at the right side
and behind the chair and the left hand
comes from the other side to support the
alveolus with the thumb and index fingers
while the other fingers support the
mandible

48. Rules of using dental forceps
 The displacement of the tooth from its socket : When the
blades have been forced along the root with firm grip and
the tooth movement buccal outward and lingual inward
with pressure that should be firm smooth and controlled
 Accordingly the outward movement is initiated in the
extraction of all the maxillary and mandibular teeth with
exception of mandibular third and relatively mandibular
second molars .
 Inward movement is initiated in the extraction of lower 2 nd
and 3rd molars due to the fact that the lingual alveolar
bone plate is thinner than in the buccal plate .As a
general rule the movement is initiated towards the least
resistance site.

49. Rules of using dental forceps
 However there might be some deviation
from the general rule , when the tooth is
involved in very deep decay or abnormal
configuration of root .
 In deeply decayed teeth it is advisable to
initiate the extraction movement towards
the decayed side of the tooth and keeping
the force of movement more stressed
towards decayed side

51. Rules of using dental forceps
 In extraction of teeth with conical roots
which usually the upper central incisors
and the lower second premolars and
mesiodens, these teeth could be detached
from their sockets by primary rotatory
movement. If such a tooth felt to resist
rotation it should be moved buccolingually.
 Also rotatory secondary movement could
be used after the tooth has been
completely loosened.

52. Rules of using dental forceps
 The final movement of the tooth: normally after
few buccolingual movements, the tooth is felt to
have been loosened and rising out of its socket ,
when this occurs the final movement should
always be directed outward in order to avoid
traumatizing the teeth of opposing jaw.
 If gum is found to be attached to the tooth this
adhesion should be carefully dissected and
avoid pulling of the tooth by dental forceps to
avoid soft tissue laceration and exposure of the
alveolar bone

It is the music of the
!heart

80. Removal of Fractured Root
 Fractured root should be removed at the time of
extraction because it may cause the following
complication:
 1-Large roots in the alveolus will be localized
source of inflammation
 2-It may cause residual infection
 3-RR may act as a mechanical irritant and set up
an inflammatory reaction which may give rise to
neuralgic pain of obscure origin

81. Reason of Root Breakage
1-Faulty application of instruments or
extraction movements, wrong pattern
forceps on a particular tooth may
cause its breakage. Improper grip ,
inadequate extraction movements.
Sudden or jerky extraction movement,
gripping of the crown too superficially
and not at CEJ

82. Reason of Root Breakage
2-Pulpless teeth, badly decayed, teeth with
abnormal root pattern or Hypercementosis
3-Excessive density of the surrounding bone
due condensing osteitis , or isolated tooth
and in old age patient
4-Lake of perfect control of instrument or
interference from the patient

83. Removal of broken single
rooted teeth
• This includes the maxillary incisors and canines
and mandibular incisors, canines and premolars:
• Removal of Roots Broken at the Gingival
Margin:
• A-These root may be extracted with forceps ,
with careful adaptation of the beaks under the
gingival margin
• B-Straight Apexo elevator or Coupland .The
angulated Apexo elevator used to remove
mandibular single rooted teeth apply moderate
force distal as will as mesial of the root till
complete delivery of the RR

84. Removal of the root broken
halfway of the apex
• Generally, these are
the cases which
require the reflection
of mucoperiosteal flap
and removal of buccal
and lingual alveolar
bone what we call it
TRANS-ALVEOLAR
SURGICAL
EXTRACTION

85. Take the time to
… !hear
It is the power of

86. Removal of Roots of Upper and
Lower Molars
• 1-Removal of Broken Root of
Mandibular Molars :
1-When both roots are fractured at the
gingival line , the root trunk is still
present a lower premolar forceps can
be used, its beaks should be inserted
as far under the gingival margin

87. Removal of Roots of Upper and
Lower Molars
• 2-The other technique for removal of such
roots is a drill used to separate the roots
after this Apexo elevator may be used to
loosen the mesial root by inserting it into a
space between the lamia dura and the
surface of the root from the mesial and
distal surfaces until loosening of the root
occur . The other root could extracted by
using Winter or Cryer elevators

88. Removal of Broken Roots of
Maxillary Molars
• Maxillary molars roots may be removed by
grasping the palatal and the distobuccal roots
with the upper roots forceps or with Bayonet
Forceps .
• This procedure will either remove all three roots
or cause breaking of mesiobuccal root which
then can be removed by upper root forceps or
with Warwick James curved elevator inserted
into empty disto-buccal socket

89. Removal of Broken Roots of
Maxillary Molars
• Another technique is first
to separate the fused
roots with drill in the
form of “ Y “ shape and
then remove them
individually by mean of
forceps or by Warwick
James curved elevator
between the separated
roots.

91. Post-extraction care and instructions

92. Post-extraction care
• Inspection of the socket
• Removal of debris and any
tooth fragments
• Squeezing the socket
• Insuring haemostasis (Gauze
pack)
• Remove any septic granulation
tissue or granuloma from the
socket
• Trim and smooth any sharp
edges from the alveolar plate
of bone
• Clean the patient lips and face.

93. Post-extraction Instructions
1-Keep biting on gauze, sponges for about one
hour after extraction, by the time if bleeding is
controlled, discontinue pressure pack
2-No mouth wash for at least 24 hours after
extraction
3-Avoid any hot food or drink for the rest of the day
to prevent bleeding
4-The diet must be cold fluids or soft food to avoid
irritation of the wound
5-Avoid any hard labour and have an adequate
rest

94. Dental Elevators

95. Use of Elevators in Extraction of
Teeth
.Parts of Elevator
:Work Principles
• Levering.
• Wedging.
• Wheel and Axle principle.

96. Wheel & Axle
Wedging

97. Rules
• Palm grip
• Don’t use the neighbouring
tooth as a fulcrum
• Don’t use the buccal or lingual
plate of bone as a fulcrum
• Use the left hand for
reflection, guard and support
• Take care of the surrounding
vital structures
• Follow respectfully, root
curvature

98. Principles of Use of Elevator
• Wedge principle: straight elevator
• Lever principle: Copland elevator
• Axel and Wheel principle: Cryer’s elevator

99. Principles of Use of Elevator
Wedge Principle
Some elevators are designed primarily to
be used as a wedge e.g. Apexo,and
coupland. This elevators are forced
between the root of the tooth and the
investing bony tissue parallel to the long
axis of the tooth

100. Principles of Use of Elevator
Lever Principle:
On applying this principle the elevator is a
lever of the first class the position of the
fulcrum is between the effort and
resistance in order to obtain a mechanical
advantage in a lever of the first class the
effort arm on one side of the fulcrum, must
be longer than the resistance arm

101. Principles of Use of Elevator
Wheel and Axle Principle
The wheel and axle is a
simple machine the effort
is applied to the
circumference of a wheel
which turn the axle so as
to raise a weight. It could
be used as a sole work
principle in removing the
teeth, it is also used in
conjunction with a wedge
or lever principles

 Luxation and removal of remaining roots
 Bone removal
 Mucoperiosteal elevation

114. Danger in the Use of Elevators





1-Loosening or extracting the adjacent teeth
2-Fracture the alveolar process or fracturing the
mandible
3-Penetrating the maxillary antrum or forcing the
root into the antrum
4-Forcing a root a root of a mandibular molar
through lingual plate of the mandible
5-Damage of soft tissues by slipping of the tip of
the elevator

115. Point to remember in
extraction of teeth
 Never refer to the extraction of tooth as a
“simple extraction”. You may find yourself
in the embarrassing position of trying to
explain to the patient why this simple
extraction taking so much time and effort
 Anticipate breakage by knowing all reason
why root and crown break. Forewarn the
patient of the possibility of breakage or
fracture
