There is no such thing as a simple tooth removal. A non-surgical extraction can have many challenges and can result in unwanted complications. Making it look “easy” requires knowledge, skill and experience. This case, removal of an erupted mandibular central incisor, illustrates a number of points. Duration 11:19.
This video shows the use of the Piezotome CUBE to facilitate removal of an ankylosed tooth root in the mandible.

Traditionally, a surgical handpiece and bur would be used to separate an ankylosed root from the alveolar bone.…
Dental radiology of 30 years ago has evolved in to Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology due to the advances in 3D technology and CBCT. Dr. Reznick discusses many topics in this interview with Dr. Heidi Kohltfarber. Learn why you need 3D imaging in your practice, how to decide on which unit would be best for your…

CBCT imaging is the most reliable way to make the determination of tooth position and orientation so that the…
In this video, the technique of atraumatic extraction of an endodontically-treated, fractured mandibular premolar is demonstrated, followed by immediate replacement with a dental implant.
