Suggested guidelines for dental extractions using an atraumatic technique

Avoid raising a gingival flap whenever possible, thereby avoiding injury to the Periosteum.

Avoid reducing alveolar bone whenever possible; however, mobile or sharp bone fragments should be removed.

Following the extraction, curette the socket and irrigate with saline to ensure the removal of any remaining infected tissue or debris.

Reevaluate the extraction site in approximately 2 weeks to ensure closure of the gingiva and adequate healing, with additional follow‐up scheduled as needed.
