Atraumatic extraction of maxillary first premolar

A 70-year-old female patient visited our clinic owing to a fractured maxillary first molar. Tooth #24 had previously had a large composite restoration that was no longer in place at the time of the dental appointment.

    Tooth #24 was severely decayed down to the marginal bone edge.
    Figs. 2–4: The tooth was luxated with Luxator P4 (dual edge, lilac).

    Figs. 5–7: Luxation was continued with Luxator P1 (straight blade, dark green).
    Fig. 6
    Fig. 7
    Fig. 8: The tooth was removed with the help of diamond tweezers.
    Fig. 9: During luxation, the palatal root was partially fractured while in the alveolus.
    Figs. 10–12: The fractured root was carefully luxated with Luxator P1 and Luxator L3S.

    Figs. 13–15: The remains of the root were removed with the help of diamond tweezers.

By means of a gentle extraction technique, we managed to preserve the interradicular septum. Luxator P4, with its extremely sharp dual-edge blade, was used at the beginning, followed by Luxator P1 once some space had been created. Although the blades of these sophisticated instruments are reinforced with a titanium coating, they should only be used to cut the periodontal ligament and never to elevate the tooth.

Computer-controlled local anaesthesia & paediatric patients: how to make your injections safe and effective

Computer-controlled local anaesthesia & paediatric patients: how to make your injections safe and effective

Local anaesthesia can often be unbearable for young patients and stressful for a dentist. A computer-controlled local anaesthesia system allows the delivery speed and pressure to be adjusted to the clinical situation, developmental, anatomical, and physiological tissue differences observed in children. Effective anaesthesia is achieved with a lower amount of analgesic reducing the risk of toxic or allergic reactions and minimizing discomfort and sensation of numbness after the treatment. It helps prevent unwanted self- injuries to the lips, cheeks, and tongue.

Computer-controlled local anaesthesia: why you should swap your traditional syringe or carpule for a digital system

Computer-controlled local anaesthesia: why you should swap your traditional syringe or carpule for a digital system

Local anaesthesia can and should be atraumatic. A computer-controlled local anaesthesia system allows the delivery speed and pressure to be adjusted to the tissue absorption capacity. Effective anaesthesia is achieved with a lower amount of the analgesic and without the accompanying discomfort or a sensation of numbness after the procedure.
