Minimally invasive vertical versus conventional tooth extraction: An interrupted time series study
Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
|May 28, 2018
Summary
The vertical extraction system offers a high success rate for extracting severely damaged teeth, significantly reducing the need for flap surgery compared to conventional methods.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Conventional tooth extraction techniques and flap surgery have limitations in preserving alveolar bone.
- Minimally invasive vertical tooth extraction systems have been developed to address these limitations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the performance of a vertical extraction system.
- To compare the incidence of flap surgery between the vertical extraction system and conventional techniques for anterior teeth and premolars not suitable for forceps extraction.
Main Methods:
- A prospective observational clinical study using an interrupted time series design.
- Comparison of vertical extraction system versus conventional tooth extraction techniques.
Main Results:
- The vertical extraction system achieved an 85.4% success rate in extracting 323 teeth.
- Flap surgery was required in 5.6% of vertical extraction cases, compared to 22% for conventional techniques.
- The vertical extraction system demonstrated a marked reduction in flap surgery incidence.
Conclusions:
- The vertical extraction system is effective for extracting severely destroyed teeth with a high success rate.
- This minimally invasive technique significantly reduces the need for flap surgery.
- Further randomized clinical trials are recommended to validate these findings.

5.2K
A time-series graph is a line graph with repeated measurements taken at successive intervals of time. It is also called a time series chart. To construct a time-series graph, one must look at both pieces of a paired data set. The horizontal axis is used to plot the time increments, and the vertical axis is used to plot the values of the variable that one is measuring. By using the axes in this way, each point on the graph will correspond to time and a measured quantity. The points on the graph...

The Discrete-Time Fourier Series (DTFS) is a fundamental concept in signal processing, serving as the discrete-time counterpart to the continuous-time Fourier series. It allows for the representation and analysis of discrete-time periodic signals in terms of their frequency components. Unlike its continuous counterpart, which utilizes integrals, the calculation of DTFS expansion coefficients involves summations due to the discrete nature of the signal.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

3.5K
When analyzing a beam subjected to various loads, it is crucial to understand the internal forces and moments generated within the structure. These internal forces can be broadly classified into normal forces, shear forces, and bending moments. To determine these forces and moments, we use the method of sections and apply a specific sign convention based on their direction and the side of the section being analyzed.
The normal force acts perpendicular to the beam's cross-section and can...

Vertical curves provide the transition between two roadway grades, ensuring safety, comfort, and functionality. Calculating elevations at specific stations along the curve involves several systematic steps based on the curve's geometry and provided design parameters.The vertical curve is defined by its length, grades, Point of Vertical Intersection (P.V.I.) location, and P.V.I. elevation. The stations of the Point of Vertical Curvature (P.V.C.), where the curve begins, and the Point of Vertical...

6.7K
A resistor is an ohmic device that limits the flow of charge in a circuit. Most circuits have more than one resistor. If several resistors are connected together and connected to a battery, the current supplied by the battery depends on the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The equivalent resistance of a combination of resistors depends on both their individual values and how they are connected. The simplest combination of resistors is the series combination.
