Vestibular Extraction Technique (VET): a Novel Atraumatic Extraction Technique

Vestibular Extraction Technique (VET): a Novel Atraumatic Extraction Technique (Randomized Clinical Trial)

study proposes an alternative atraumatic tooth extraction procedure; Apically achieved exodontia, which might offer an alternative to the conventional incisal exodontia, whilst providing minimum tissue trauma and subsequently maximum marginal tissue preservation.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Tooth Extraction
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: Vestibular Root Extraction; Procedure: Atraumatic extractions using periotomes followed by conventional forceps

Detailed Description

A sample of 26 patients that received the extraction therapy For Group (A) patients, Atraumatic extractions using periotomes followed by conventional forceps were performed.

For Group (B) patients, the novel technique of Vestibular Root Extraction was performed to the sample group's hopeless teeth.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Vestibular Root Extraction	Procedure: Vestibular Root Extraction; a 1-cm long vestibular access incision was cut, 3-4 mm apical to the mucogingival junction of the involved tooth, then pushing the vestibular pouch in an incisal direction exposing the apical root area, and allowing direct undisturbed access to the root surface
Active Comparator: Atraumatic extractions using periotomes followed by conventional forceps	Procedure: Atraumatic extractions using periotomes followed by conventional forceps; a sulcular releasing incision suing a micro scalpel was made to detach the surrounding tissues, followed by applying the periotome interproximally into the PDL space, widening the attached periodontal ligaments space.
