Abstract:

Tooth extraction is a common and widely employed therapeutic procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Minimally invasive tooth extraction can reduce both physical and psychological trauma to the patients, and is widely recommended as a first-line clinical treatment. But currently no guidelines or consensus has been available to provide a systematic introduction of minimally invasive tooth extraction to guide the clinical practices. To address this issue, this consensus, based on a comprehensive literature review and clinical experiences of experts, systematically summarizes the indications, target patients, and contraindications of minimally invasive tooth extraction, the overall workflow of this procedure (preoperative preparation, surgical steps, postoperative management, postoperative instructions, medications, and follow-up), and its common postoperative complications to provide a comprehensive guidance for clinical application of this technique.

Key words: minimally invasive tooth extraction, standardization, operation procedure, expert consensus
