The Daily Extraction: Upper Right First Premolar

Removed #5 with 151 and root tip with #35 endo file

In this extraction, Dr. Tommy Murph encounters a common problem with the spindly roots of an upper first and sometimes second premolar. Watch how after delivering 90% of the tooth with a 151 forcep, he returns with an endodontic file to deliver the remaining root tip.

Here is the pre-operative radiograph (X-ray):
