What about the using the Ögram System? (http://ogramsystem.com/ogram/WhatisOST.html)

Less trauma and overall pain and quicker recovery. I emailed with someone from the organizations site and they indicated that FEW dentists have attended the available training in the last few years... and it would probably be hard to find someone who does it.

He indicated it might be hard to find someone who does it. Now why wouldn't dentists, oral surgeons, and exodontists WANT to take the training and offer the service?

That system is OK, but there isn’t enough evidence that it is any better than standard techniques. We are very much into evidence based practice nowadays.

Some dentists use lasers for extractions, but again, there just isn’t enough evidence to support that for routine use.

There is a new design of forceps, http://www.oneminuteextractions.com/

But most dentists I know think it’s way too expensive and probably not as good as the adds indicate.

Removing teeth isn’t a very fun thing for people to have done. But with the meds we have available today it’s not nearly as bad as in the past.
