Any instrument that could damage the permanent successor
Difference in primary teeth
Size
Shape
Physiology
Support
Shape differences
Crowns more bulbous
Roots thinner and more splayed
Support differences
Bone of the alveolus more elastic
Tissue reflection
Detach the gingival tissue
A curette works well for primary teeth
Can use periosteal if needed
Elevate
Adequate elevation prevents root fracture
Gentle force expands the bone
Done necessarily need to elevate anterior teeth
Anterior primary teeth ext
Mild buccolingual motion
Rotational movement
Posterior ext
Buccolingual movement
Root Fracture
Aggressive retrieval of root can damage permanent teeth
Common sense to root fractures
If visible and easily mobile take it out
Permanent teeth may be _______
Damaged or extracted during primary tooth extraction
Premature loss of primary teeth may lead to
Undesireable tooth movment which leads to loss of arch length
The goal of space maintenance
Is to prevent loss of arch length width and perimeter by mainting the relative position of the existing dentin
Space maintenance not usually for
Anterior teeth
