Abstract
The standard practice of dental extraction is performed using rigid instruments in a process involving high mechanical strength and a post-operative painful for patients. This work presents the stages of design and development of an instrument capable of acting in the most critical phase of the process, with induction of vibration at high frequencies, and it is expected to decrease the required the extraction force to perform as well as damages caused by the present procedure.
