The Benex System represents an evolution in the approach to tooth extractions, especially in situations where preservation of the alveolar bone is a priority, such as in implant surgery, regenerative surgery, and aesthetics. Unlike conventional techniques, which typically rely on lever movements, twisting, or lateral pressure with forceps and elevators, the Benex system works using a mechanical principle of controlled axial traction, allowing for progressive and centered elevation of the root from within the alveolus.
This method of extraction has multiple benefits. First, it allows for maximum preservation of the bone walls, especially the buccal plate, which is the thinnest and most vulnerable to collapse during forced extractions. This is especially valuable in maxillary incisors and premolars, where the aesthetics of the gingival profile are closely related to the integrity of the buccal bone. Maintaining an intact alveolus facilitates not only immediate implant placement but also better long-term aesthetic integration. Even in cases where an implant is not placed immediately, the preserved morphology of the socket greatly facilitates guided bone regeneration or spontaneous healing with less soft tissue collapse.
Furthermore, the Benex System offers predictable and controlled extraction, as it is based on protocolized and repeatable steps. After creating a small access with specific drills, a self-tapping screw is inserted into the root canal. This screw anchors the extractor, which applies progressive axial traction using a vertical lever system, without the need to manipulate the tooth laterally or force the bone. This prevents root fractures and bone injuries, and drastically reduces surgical trauma, resulting in less pain, inflammation, and postoperative bleeding.
One of its most notable features is its usefulness in difficult situations: fractured roots, teeth with failed root canals, partial ankylosis, or even in areas with advanced bone loss. The system allows the extraction of deep root fragments without the need for invasive osteotomies, which not only saves surgical time but also reduces complications. In molars, it can be used after sectioning the roots, allowing for controlled extractions separately, preserving the interradicular septa and facilitating the subsequent anchorage of the implant.
The correct use of the Benex System not only requires mastery of the technique and specific steps, but also knowing how to select the appropriate cases, accurately interpret root anatomy, and clearly define the surgical objective. Used correctly, it becomes a powerful tool for achieving minimally invasive and highly predictable extractions that respect the biology of the alveolus, optimize implant planning, and elevate the quality of surgical treatment from both a functional and aesthetic perspective.
In short, the Benex System is not simply another tool for extracting teeth, but a technology designed to guide the surgeon in a new philosophy of tissue preservation. Its proper use allows a typically aggressive surgical procedure to be transformed into a refined, controlled procedure focused on the patient’s restorative future. Therefore, its integration into modern clinical practice represents a clear competitive advantage for those dedicated to oral surgery, periodontics, and advanced implantology.
