Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Therapeutic extraction of maxillary premolars is often indicated for orthodontic treatment. Extraction as well as retrieval of broken root tips in cases should be minimally invasive aiming to preserve the alveolus as well as the buccal and palatal cortical plates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Here a technique is described that we have been employing for retrieving broken maxillary premolar root tips which have the bevel towards the buccal cortex. CONCLUSION: The method is simple, atraumatic and effective.
