Synopsis

Partial extraction therapy (PET) is an emerging concept in dentistry aimed at preserving the natural tooth structure and surrounding tissues during tooth extraction procedures. Instead of completely removing a compromised tooth, PET involves selectively removing only the diseased or non-vital portion of the tooth while leaving the healthy root fragment intact. This approach aims to maintain the periodontal ligament attachment and surrounding bone, which are critical for supporting dental implants or prosthetic restorations. By preserving the natural tooth structure, PET seeks to achieve better aesthetic outcomes, enhance stability of subsequent restorations, and potentially reduce post-operative complications such as bone loss and soft tissue recession. Ongoing research and clinical studies are exploring the long-term effectiveness and advantages of PET compared to traditional extraction methods in improving overall dental and periodontal health.
