Tooth removal with root separation
Root separation is indicated when:
- Firmly seated teeth must be loosened to prevent tooth fracture or destruction of the environment (tooth wall break-off);
- Roots are highly branched or crooked;
- Caries has deeply affected one side, as the pliers cannot grip the destroyed tooth surface properly.
