Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) Technique

Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) Technique

The loss of teeth will lead to resorption of the buccal plate with its resultant need for extensive augmentative procedures (both bone and soft tissue) as well as the risk of poor long term aesthetic stability. 

The internal and external shield exposure are the main complications associated with socket shield and pontic shield.

PET Kit (30% off Special for Participants!)

The loss of teeth will lead to resorption of the buccal plate with its resultant need for extensive augmentative procedures (both bone and soft tissue) as well as the risk of poor long term aesthetic stability. The PET Kit has been developed specifically to make the Partial Extraction Therapy Techniques more achievable. The step-by-step process helps to standardize the procedure to enable faster and more predictable results. The development of the kit was made possible through research that highlighted the complications associated with the techniques. The internal and external shield exposure are the main complications associated with socket shield and pontic shield. The use for the PET kit has specific drills that enable the simple reduction of the shield without damage to the adjacent mucosa as well as preparation of the chamfer below the bone level in order to create the prosthetic space necessary for ideal soft tissue healing over the shield.
