    Do you have a “hopeless” retained root you’re ready to extract?

    Think implants, dentures, or bridges are the only way forward?

    What if there’s a way to save that tooth — predictably and biologically?

    In this episode, Dr. Vala Seif shares his experience with the Surgical Extrusion Technique — a game-changing approach that lets you reposition the root coronally to regain ferrule and restore teeth once thought impossible to save.

    Jaz and Dr. Seif dive into case selection, atraumatic technique, stabilization, and timing, all guided by Dr. Seif’s own SAFE/SEIF Protocol, developed from over 200 successful cases.

    Protrusive Dental Pearl: When checking a ferrule, consider height, thickness, and location of functional load. Upper teeth: prioritize palatal ferrule. Lower teeth: prioritize buccal. Tip: do a partial surgical extrusion, rotate the tooth 180°, then stabilize.

    Key Takeaways

    Surgical extrusion is a technique-sensitive procedure that requires careful planning.

    Case selection is crucial for the success of surgical extrusion.

    A crown-root ratio of 1:1 is ideal for surgical extrusion.

    Patients are often more cooperative when they see surgical extrusion as their last chance to save a tooth.

    Surgical extrusion can be more efficient than orthodontic extrusion in certain cases.

    The importance of ferrule in dental restorations cannot be overstated.

    Proper case selection is crucial for successful outcomes.

    Atraumatic techniques are essential for preserving tooth structure.

    The 'Safe Protocol' offers a structured approach to surgical extrusion.

    Patient communication is key to managing expectations.

    Flowable composite is preferred for tooth fixation post-extraction.

    Understanding root morphology is important for successful extractions.
