Abstract: Tooth extraction is to remove the affected teeth that can no longer provide oral function, and it is also one of the most basic and common procedures in alveolar surgery. Conventional tooth extraction applies elevators, forceps, chisels and other instruments, which may cause severe physical and psychological trauma to the patient. In recent years, the concepts of minimally invasive tooth extraction has been accepted in the clinic, and the development of materials has led to more refined extraction instruments. Meanwhile the use of micro-power devices has greatly improved the efficiency of tooth extraction. Advancements in tooth extraction techniques and equipments are aimed to maximumly preserve the integrity of the alveolar bone, reduce the complications, and relieve the pain. This paper described the development of minimally invasive tooth extraction techniques through the evolution of instruments and the application of micro-power devices, so as to provide reference for more dentists to understand and apply minimally invasive equipments in daily practice.
