Today, thanks to the contributions of scientific and technological progress to the science of dentistry,
Although it is primarily aimed to treat the tooth and keep it in the mouth, in some cases,
Tooth extraction is used to protect patient health or to plan treatment.
Situations that require the extraction of teeth can be summarized as follows:
Teeth that cannot be saved with treatment due to severe caries and material loss.
Teeth that are broken as a result of impact, which cannot be treated.
Abscessed teeth that cannot be saved despite root canal treatment.
Rocking teeth due to advanced gingivitis.
Milk teeth that do not fall out on time.
Troubled teeth due to excessive position change (rotation, tipping, etc.).
Teeth inside a cyst or tumor.
Incompletely erupted (impacted) and problematic teeth.
Due to the lack of space, some teeth can be extracted to assist orthodontic treatment, even though they are uneventful.
