Zero3 TBA Third Molar (Wisdom Teeth) Management: early ablation versus extraction

Zero3 TBA Third Molar (Wisdom Teeth) Management: early ablation versus extraction

Posted by Dental Didactics CE, AGD National PACE Provider, California Dental Board Registered Provider on Sep 14th 2024

The ongoing debate on when and how to manage third molars is being re-opened by new advances in technology and the potential to prophylactically destroy wisdom tooth buds at an early age and avoid the discomfort and complications of conventional third molar extractions. Consider the consequences of a system developed to eliminate the need for wisdom tooth extraction during the teen years in terms of patient experience, pain and suffering, and financial consequences. Learn about a proposed new system for minimally invasive destruction of third molar tooth buds prior to the teenage years. The Zero3 TBA System is in the research and development phase but could be a game changer in the coming years. This builds off the early research By Dr. Anthony Silvestri utilizing a diode laser to eliminate third molar tooth buds while still in the development phase.
