Description
Excerpt from Extraction of the Teeth
As an operation, extraction of teeth is fortunately becoming more rare, but even now large numbers are needlessly sacrificed, in many cases owing to ignorance on the part of the patient of the value of the teeth, at times to lack of knowledge on the part of both operator and patient of the modern methods of conservative dentistry. With the assistance of antiseptics in the treatment of root-canals, and the increase in knowledge of the methods of filling and crowning teeth, it is now possible to retain many which would in former days have been extracted - indeed it may be said with truth that all teeth and many roots are capable of being saved and rendered useful, with the exception of -
(i) Those teeth whose roots are much shortened by absorption.
