Abstract

Introduction

Therapeutic extraction of maxillary premolars is often indicated for orthodontic treatment. Extraction as well as retrieval of broken root tips in cases should be minimally invasive aiming to preserve the alveolus as well as the buccal and palatal cortical plates.

Conclusion

The method is simple, atraumatic and effective.
