simple extraction and surgical extraction

[b11_]

What is the difference between a simple extraction and a surgical extraction?

 

[Paquitin RDA]

Simple Extraction:
All it requires is for the doctor to use basic instrumentation, and just elevate the tooth.

Surgical Extraction:
More involved, alot more risks, longer healing time for the patient, more post operative discomfort. A different post op medication. And the doctor may have to "Section" your tooth, which means, the use of the drill to cut the tooth into parts to facilitate it's removal.
