Tooth Extraction
There are several reasons for extracting a tooth. These include:
• Severe Tooth Damage/Trauma: some teeth have such extensive decay and
damage (broken or cracked) that repair is not possible. For example, teeth affected by
advanced gum (periodontal) disease may need to be pulled. As gum disease worsens,
the tooth — supported by less surrounding bone — often loosens to such an extent
that tooth extraction is the only solution.
• Malpositioned/Nonfunctioning Teeth: To avoid possible complications that
may result in an eventual, negative impact on oral health, a dentist may recommend
removing teeth that are malaligned and/or essentially useless.

52
• Orthodontic Treatment: Orthodontic treatment, such as braces, may require
tooth extraction to make needed space for improved teeth alignment.
• Extra Teeth: some supernumerary teeth, extra teeth, may block other teeth
from erupting.
The tooth extraction process begins with a thorough examination and review of
the patient’s medical history. X-rays are typically taken to assess the tooth’s position
and surrounding bone structure. The dentist administers local anesthesia to numb the
extraction site and surrounding tissues.
Simple Extractions are performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth.
A dentist will grasp the tooth with
specialized pliers called extraction forceps
and move them back and forth to loosen the
tooth before removing it.
Sometimes, a surgical cutting instrument called a
luxator — which fits between the tooth and the gum — is
used to the periodontal ligament, which holds the tooth in
the alveolus. A dental luxator loosens teeth for extraction by
cutting the periodontal ligament atraumatically.
Dentists also use elevators, which are levers that look
similar to small screwdrivers. An elevator is wedged
between the tooth and the surrounding bone. The elevator
places pressure on the tooth, which helps expand the tooth's
socket and separate its ligament.
After extraction the dentist places gauze over the extraction site to control
bleeding and promote clot formation. Post-operative instructions are provided to
guide proper healing and prevent complications.
Surgical Extractions involve teeth that cannot easily be seen or reached in the
mouth, either because they have broken off at the gum line or they have not fully
erupted.
Performed by dentists or oral surgeons, surgical extractions require some type
of surgical procedure, such as bone removal, removing and/or folding back all or part
of the gum tissue to expose the tooth.
Sometimes a tooth is so firmly anchored in its socket that a dentist must cut the
tooth into pieces in order to remove each portion individually (tooth sectioning). The

53
dentist may need to place stitches and/or add bone (natural or synthetic) in the
extraction site after the procedure. Some stitches are absorbable and will disintegrate
on their own; others require removal by a dentist, usually about a week after the
extraction. Surgical extractions can be done with local anesthesia. Patients with
special medical conditions and young children may receive general anesthesia.

Ex. 8. Read the text. Mind the information about tooth extraction complications.
Translate the last two passages in writing. Do the additional tasks below.
A tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure. In the majority of the
procedures no complications are expected during or after the tooth extraction. But
difficulties with extractions are unpredictable and sometimes complications do occur.
Potential tooth extraction complications during the procedure include:
• Damage to nearby teeth. The adjacent teeth or dental restorations (e.g.,
crowns, bridges, implants) next to the extracted tooth may occasionally be damaged

56
during the procedure. Nearby teeth may become fractured, chipped or loosened
during the extraction of a tooth or teeth, sometimes requiring more dental work.
• Fracture of the tooth. The tooth may fracture during the extraction process,
complicating the procedure and requiring more time and effort to complete the
extraction. Tooth sectioning may be needed.
• Incomplete extraction. A small part of the tooth root may be left in the
jawbone. Although it may increase the risk of infection, sometimes the dentist will
prefer to not try to extract it because its removal may be too risky e.g. if it is very
close to a nerve.
• Damage to the sinus. The extraction of a molar from the upper jaw may
damage the sinus cavities above it, by creating a hole that might become a source of
sinus infections. Healing depends on the perforation size and prompt management.
The patient should avoid nose-blowing, smoking, or forceful rinsing to protect the
site. Corrective surgery is typically required for larger defects or when conservative
measures fail.
• Nerve damage. A mistake during an extraction of a tooth from the lower jaw
may damage the inferior alveolar nerve. Numbness in the lower lip and chin are
common symptoms of a damaged nerve. The nerve will heal in a few weeks up to
some months depending on the extend of the damage. In rare cases, the nerve is
unable to heal completely, leaving the patient with a permanent numbness.
• Jaw fracture. Patients with a weak jawbone structure (e.g. older women
with osteoporosis) may have a risk of jaw fracture. Even if the actual tooth extraction
procedure is performed smoothly without any problems, there are cases of
complications during the healing process.
Possible tooth extraction complications after the operation include:
• Dry socket. A dry socket following a tooth extraction is a common
complication in about 5% of people who have a tooth extracted. The condition occurs
when a blood clot does not form normally in the tooth socket or the blood clot is
washed out or dissolved prematurely. In a dry socket situation, the underlying bone
and nerves are exposed to air and food, causing intense pain and sometimes bad odor
or taste. A dry socket needs to be treated with a medicated dressing to stop the pain
and help healing.
• Infection. The wound of the tooth extraction can be a doorway for bacteria
causing an infection, particularly in patients with a weakened immune system. If a
patient has a high risk of infection the dentist will generally prescribe antibiotics
before and after the extraction.

Periodontal Gum Surgery
Gum surgery, or periodontal disease surgery, involves a group of several
surgical dental treatments generally performed by a periodontist to treat conditions
affecting the gums, the connective tissues or/and the bone tissues that support teeth in
place. In most cases gum surgery is related to periodontal disease treatment.
There are several different types of gum surgery procedures, including:
Gingivectomy is usually the first step in the surgical treatment of periodontal
disease. It is a procedure that aims in the surgical removal of infected or diseased
gum tissue to allow healthy gum tissue to reattach firmly on teeth. Gingivectomy may
also be needed to remove excessive gum tissue in cases of gingival hyperplasia.
Gingivoplasty is a procedure performed for esthetic reasons following a
gingivectomy, in order to give gum tissue around teeth a more natural appearance and
contour. Gingivoplasty reshapes areas of the gums that may look thick and
malformed after a gingival curettage or a soft-tissue graft.

59
Periodontal flap surgery / pocket depth reduction is the most important gum
surgery treatment to cure moderate to severe periodontal disease. Flap surgery aims
to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets that trap harmful dental plaque bacteria, to
remove dental tartar, eliminate infection and allow gums to heal. Reducing the pocket
depth also increases the patient’s ability to remove bacterial plaque with regular oral
hygiene and prevent recurrence of gum disease.
Osseous (bone) surgery is sometimes performed in conjunction with a pocket
depth reduction procedure. Osseous Surgery is used to correct deformities of the bone
around teeth that could provide areas where bacteria could accumulate and grow, by
smoothing shallow craters and irregular surfaces of damaged bone due to bone
loss — caused by periodontal disease.
Crown lengthening is done to expose more tooth structure above the gum line
by removing gum and, sometimes, bone tissue. The procedure is usually used for
functional reasons, to allow the restoration of a tooth that has decayed/broken close
or below the gum line. Lately, crown lengthening is also used widely for cosmetic
reasons, to correct a condition called ‘gummy smile’. In this case the procedure is
also known as ‘gum contouring’.
Gum graft (soft-tissue graft) is a gum surgery procedure to reinforce or/and
replace gingival tissue in patients with severe gum recession. Gum grafts are used to
cover exposed teeth roots, reduce root sensitivity and prevent root cavities and further
gum recession. The procedure is also known as ‘root coverage’. Gum graft surgery
can help to improve appearance of teeth that look abnormally long.
Periodontal bone graft is a surgical treatment to replace bone lost due to
periodontal disease using patient’s own bone, donated or synthetic bone graft, in
order to improve stability of affected teeth. Bone grafts are also widely used to
provide enough bone tissue for the placement of dental implants to replace lost teeth.
Guided tissue regeneration is a new technique performed in conjunction with
a gum or/and bone graft that makes use of a barrier membrane which is placed
between the gum and bone. The purpose of the membrane is to allow and enhance the
regeneration of new bone. Tissue stimulating proteins may also be used to accelerate
the bone and gum tissue regeneration.
For a successful outcome of a periodontal gum surgery procedure, the patient
must follow carefully the post-operative surgery instructions given by the dentist.
