Indication for tooth extraction
These days, modern therapeutical options enable the conservation of many teeth. Situations still arise however, in which a tooth can only be extracted. Indications are:
- Caries reaching far under the gingiva or into the root
- Severe loosening due to parodontitis
- Lack of space
- Orthodontal lack of space
- Longitudinal dental fractures
- Root canal preparation in via falsa (root wall was drilled through accidentally)
- Relocated or excess teeth
- Severe tipping of teeth
