Tooth Extractions

  Tooth extraction is a kind of surgery 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.
  Removal of a diseased tooth is carried out in such cases as: complicated caries with complete destruction of the tooth crown, complicated periodontitis, improper eruption and non-physiological position of the tooth accompanied by purulent inflammation, defects in the shape or anatomical position of the dentition, abnormal number of teeth, cystic formation of the tooth.
  In some cases, tooth extraction is part of the preparatory stage before installing a prosthesis or performing orthodontic treatment. The most common reason for removing a tooth is sanitation of the oral cavity in chronic periodontitis at the stage of exacerbation, when it is no longer possible to cure the focus of inflammation on the apex of the tooth. Another reason is the removal of a multi-rooted tooth, which will gradually lead to the development of odontogenic osteomyelitis.
