Methods for atraumatic tooth extraction are provided. The methods include inserting an instrument into a pulp canal of a tooth, wherein the instrument comprises a body electrically connected to a heat providing source; and a tip arranged at one end of the body configured for insertion into a pulp canal; heating the tip to provide a temperature sufficient to degenerate periodontal ligament; withdrawing the instrument from the pulp canal; and extracting the tooth.

A method for preserving the alveolar ridge using partial extraction therapy. The method comprises de-coronating the tooth to leave a tooth root, de-coring a coronal portion of the tooth root to leave a tooth ring, severing an apical root portion of the tooth root from the tooth ring and removing the apical root portion. The tooth ring provides a ring of natural material that reinforces the coronal part of the tooth socket in the gum and reduces or obviates alveolar resorption.

A dental forceps structure, including: a fixture body, including an elastic connection portion, two elastic arms formed on two ends of the elastic connection portion, and two bended clamping portions each formed on one end of one of the elastic arms; two accommodation elements, each configured on one of the clamping portions; and two barriers, configured on the respective clamping portions and positioned between the accommodation elements and fixture body, and adapted to isolate the disturbance of surrounding tissues and organs. With the above structure, a user only needs to manually pull the elastic arms apart after placing a water suction element between the accommodation elements and place the clamping portions on the two sides of an affected part, thereby using the elastic force of the elastic connection to contract the elastic arms inward to allow the clamping portions to be naturally fixed on the affected part.

A dental extraction device includes a gripping assembly including first and second gripping arm, a prying element including a driving arm and an abutting and hooking portion, two first cushioning members defined on the second gripping arm, a first spacing portion formed between the first cushioning members, and a second cushioning member defined on the second gripping arm at one side of the first spacing portion. To extract a tooth, a tooth holding member is first fixed to a tooth to be removed and then the first or second cushioning members are placed on one or more teeth that are not to be removed to serve as a support point and the abutting and hooking portion is set in engagement with the tooth holding member. The first and second gripping arms are then moved to cause the driving arm to drive the abutting and hooking portion for pulling out the tooth.
