Regarding atraumatic extraction technique — which is an EXCEPTION (NOT part of atraumatic extraction)?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Remove buccal bone
✓ A) Removing buccal bone is the EXCEPTION.
Atraumatic extraction aims to PRESERVE bone, especially the buccal plate, to maintain the ridge for future implants or prosthetics. Removing buccal bone is destructive and contradicts the goal. Root separation, periotome use, and leaving granulation tissue (or using socket preservation) are consistent with atraumatic technique.
