Principles of Modern Exodontia – Atraumatic Extractions and Alveolar Bone Preservation!
Modern exodontia is the scientific and atraumatic removal of teeth, with an emphasis on the preservation of alveolar bone and surrounding soft tissues, thereby promoting optimal healing and facilitating future prosthetic or implant rehabilitation.
In this exclusive webinar with Dr Shankar Iyer we understand how this science involves proper case evaluation, including medical history, clinical examination, and radiographic assessment, followed by adequate local anaesthesia and a strict aseptic technique. Appropriate instrument selection based on sound biomechanical principles essential to minimize tissue damage are elaborated with an impressive video of the techniques and principles applied for preservation of the extraction socket and achievement of effective haemostasis.
This premium on demand video briefs us on how atraumatic extraction is a biologically sound approach that minimizes surgical trauma to the alveolar bone using instrumentation and techniques that avoids force or pressure that can cause trauma thereby preserving the socket morphology and periodontal structures. These methods facilitate optimal clot formation and uneventful wound healing, while reducing post-operative inflammation, pain, and complications. The central take away is how atraumatic extraction helps in the maintenance of alveolar ridge dimensions and enhances functional and aesthetic outcomes. This eventually improves the predictability of subsequent prosthetic or implant-based rehabilitation, often decreasing the need for additional ridge preservation or augmentation procedures.
