Banner superior do produto. Segue a descrição do conteúdo: "Should I extract?" is the decision orthodontists second-guess the most. Avoid an indicated extraction and the case fights you for years. Extract the wrong case and you flatten a profile that cannot be given back.

This ebook organizes that decision into 10 essential topics — moving past rigid "never extract" or "always extract" philosophies toward criteria you can defend in front of any colleague, with the patient's face as the starting point.

What you will take away

• Clear criteria for when extraction is advisable, avoidable — or specifically beneficial to the result
• A face-first way of deciding: facial esthetics and profile before occlusion, occlusion before cephalometric numbers
• How to handle negative tooth-bone discrepancy with criteria instead of habit — extraction, expansion, distalization or stripping
• What protects the profile once you commit: anchorage planning and torque control as part of the extraction decision itself

Who this is for
Orthodontists and postgraduate dentists who feel insecure committing to extraction plans — whether you avoid extractions you suspect are indicated because you are afraid of the mechanics that follow, or you have seen a profile suffer from a decision you would take back.
