Abstract
We describe an innovative and easy method to remove lingually placed mandibular single-rooted
teeth which are not accessible to regular forceps method of extraction. This method
is simple and atraumatic and preserves the lingual alveolar plate which is important
for implant placement and socket perseveration. This note is aimed at highlighting
a simple atraumatic technique for removal of these types of single-rooted teeth erupting
on the lingual side with the help of surgical screws. This technique is more economical
and considerably less cumbersome than the existing Benex system.
