This technique is used for all single rooted teeth or teeth that have been sectioned into individual roots.
This technique is used for all single rooted teeth or teeth that have been sectioned into individual roots.
To section teeth into individual roots a tapered fissure friction grip bur on a high speed handpiece with water-cooling should be used. A small diameter bur should be used. The furcation needs to be identified and as a general rule, lies below the main cusp of the crown. Once the furcation is identified the tooth should be sectioned from the furcation towards the cusp, from the buccal to lingual/palatal aspect of the tooth. Care should be taken not to damage the gingival attachment at the furcation. To check that the tooth has been adequately sectioned, place an elevator between the two sections of the tooth and gently rotate – both parts of the crown should move independently.
