Chronic periodontitis Chronic Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms or groups of specific microorganisms, leading to progressive destruction of the attachment apparatus of the teeth including periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone with periodontal pocket formation, and recession of the gingival tissue(1) . The clinical feature that characterizes periodontitis from gingivitis is the presence of clinically apparent attachment loss. This loss mainly is associated with changes in the density and height of subjacent alveolar bone (1). Severe generalized periodontitis affects 5–15% of any population worldwide and is a major cause of teeth loss after dental caries (2). Chronic Periodontitis also known as adult periodontitis or chronic adult

If the root cannot be removed using intra-alveolar technique for one of the stated reasons or any other reason, a flap providing adequate access to the root area should be made by the oral surgeon and trans-alveolar removal is necessary.

Introduction Crowding within the dental arch is a common symptom found in most orthodontically treated patients. Therapy options include conservative methods such as the distalisation of molars or the transversal expansion of the dental arch as well as the extraction of permanent teeth [1].

Within the last decades, the indication of extraction treatment has come to be based on the individual situation of the patients [4]. The decisive criteria are
