What is it about?
250 maxillary and 177 mandibular extractions of hopeless teeth were performed. Electrical mallet was used to carry out the surgery instead of conventional procedure with luxators, elevators and forceps. Intraoral x-rays were performed to evaluate the cortical bone plate preservation. Post-operative control at 2 weeks was programmed to control soft tissue healing

Why is it important?
Electric mallet can be successfully employed in oral surgery. Optimal hard and soft tissue preservation was demonstrated after a total of 427 teeth
Perspectives
As a maxillofacial surgeon, it was very interesting to apply the electric mallet in Dentistry. A different approach gave us optimal results
