Atraumatic tooth extraction for implant placement

Atraumatic extraction, or extraction with bone preservation for implant placement, is a technique involving the sectioning of the tooth into smaller fragments prior to removal. The number of fragments usually corresponds to the number of roots, but even single-rooted teeth may require sectioning to maximize bone preservation.
