Understanding Complex Dental Extractions
Complex dental extractions involve the removal of teeth that present unique challenges due to factors such as impaction, root curvature, or proximity to vital structures like nerves and sinuses. These situations may require specialized techniques and expertise to ensure a safe and successful procedure.
When Are Complex Extractions Necessary?
Impacted Teeth Teeth that are partially or fully impacted, such as impacted wisdom teeth, may require surgical extraction to access and remove them.
Severely Damaged Teeth Teeth that are severely decayed, broken, or fractured might require surgical extraction, especially if they cannot be saved through other treatments.
Anatomical Variations Unusual tooth root shapes or positions, such as curved roots, can make extraction more challenging.
