The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the vertical extraction system Benex and Physics forceps with the conventional extraction tools (extraction forceps and elevators) in the early wound healing period after tooth extraction, as means for minimally invasive tooth extraction.
All patients aged 18 years and over who require closed tooth extraction with good oral hygiene were eligible for participation.
Participants were randomly allocated to tooth extraction with either Benex, Physics forceps or conventional extraction tools using box randomization. Patients are followed up during the recovery period to assess pain and early wound healing, while at the time of extraction, success and buccal cortical plate fracture were evaluated.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Benex tooth extraction | Experimental | This is the first study group where patients undergo extractions with presumably the vertical tooth extraction system Benex. |
|
| Physics forceps extraction | Experimental | This is the second study group where patients undergo extractions with the presumably minimally invasive Physics forceps. |
|
| Convetional extraction | Active Comparator | This is the control group where patients undergo tooth extractions with conventional extraction forceps and elevators. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tooth extraction | Procedure | A regular closed tooth extraction was performed with the different devices from each arm. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction success | The scale suggested by Choi was used to assess each of the extraction systems. Scored from 1 to 5. Higher is better. | From the beginning of the extraction to the completion of the procedure |
| Alveolar bone buccal cortical plate preservation | The difference between the height of the alveolar bone buccal cortical plate is measured before and after the tooth extraction. Scored in milimeters missing. Lower is better. | From the beginning of the extraction to the completion of the procedure |
| VAS pain score | Patients were asked to rate their pain experience on a visual analog scale (VAS). Measured in centimeters on 10cm line. Lower is better. | 0, 1, 3, 7 day |
| Early wound healing | Landry's early wound healing index was used to evaluated the extraction healing process. Scores from 1 to 5. Higher is better. | 3, 7, 10 day |
