Evaluation of Techniques Used to Extract Fractured Dental Pieces During Surgical Procedures
Introduction: The objective of this research was to explain techniques used to extract fractured dental pieces during surgical procedures in the surgery area of the Universidad Iberoamericana during the period from February to May of 2013, to determine whether or not undergraduate students are able to resolve such a complication.
Methods: A questionnaire was designed for the study, which was then placed in the dental surgery area of the University; the doctors responsible for each surgery round had to fill out and sign the questionnaire whenever a piece was fractured. A survey was also carried out among the doctors in the area to verify and obtain their assessments of the data that had been obtained using the questionnaire.
Results: Odontosection, flap lifting, osteotomy and apical elevators are the techniques used in this area to remove broken pieces.
Conclusion: Odontosection was found to be the most frequently used technique. It was also determined that in most fracture cases, the responsible doctor had to intervene in the extraction.
