Abstract
AbstractDental extraction is a routinely carried out procedure in any dental set up. Even after the tremendous progress in the fields of preventive and restorative dentistry, exodontia remains to be a vital procedure. The increase in the public awareness regarding retaining their natural teeth has made exodontia an even more challenging procedure as more extractions are being carried out in elderly patients. With the increasing average age, the difficulty and complexity of the extraction procedure increases.This chapter exhibits the general overview of the challenging procedure called exodontia highlighting its various aspects like indications, contraindications, complications, etc. with a special mention about the procedure to be carried out in different scenarios and various technological advances in exodontia.
