Tooth Extraction
A surgical treatment is necessary in many cases. The most basic surgical procedure is the removal of a tooth (extraction). This intervention is the last option in the list of dental treatments, as the doctor has evaluated all other treatment possibilities, but they have not had positive results or indications. Tooth extraction is required when the tooth is broken due to trauma that has damaged its crown or root, when the apical infection is untreatable, for orthodontic reasons, periodontal pathology, when the tooth or teeth are retained in the jaw, erupted or unerupted supernumerary teeth, misaligned teeth, retained deciduous teeth, ankylosed milk teeth that prevent the normal eruption of permanent teeth in children, remaining tooth roots in the dental arch, etc.
