Awareness of Recent Advances in Dental Extraction Techniques Among Interns

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the awareness on recent advances in dental extraction techniques among interns. There have been several exciting technological advances in dental extraction techniques within the last decade. There have been several exciting technological advances in extraction techniques and outpatient oral surgery within the last decade. A variety of new instruments and techniques are revolutionizing the fields of oral and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry. A set of questionnaire was framed and an online survey was conducted among inteerns using survey planet. 100 people have taken the survey and the results were statistically analyzed. In this study 59% of students are not aware of recent advances in dental extraction techniques.61% students are aware of physics forceps, sonosurgery and benex technique.58%, 59%, 57% students are not aware about piezo surgery, luxator periotomes and eASY X-TrAc system respectively. 95% students found this survey helpful to gain knowledge about recent advances. Hence, the study draws attention that the students are not aware about recent advances of extraction. We need to create more awareness by seminars, cd programs and hands on lectures on recent advances in dental extraction techniques. KEY
