Popis: Partial extraction therapies (PET) are a group of clinical procedures carried out wherein a part of the tooth is left behind in the alveolar socket at the time of extraction and the implant is placed either at the same time or later. This technique makes the body believe that the tooth is in the bone and makes it behave as such. The procedure relies on the concept that, the alveolar bone resorption is a consequence of loss of bundle bone and the only way to preserve the bundle bone is to retain the periodontal ligament attachment to it. This chapter will cover the biology of the periodontal tissues and the evolution of PET.
