  • Dental infection treated with medication only in the past three months 
  • Wisdom tooth with recent infection managed by antibiotics only 
  • Teeth with temporary fillings
  • Root canal treatment performed and temporized within the last three months 
  • Teeth with active cavities with a potential to create further damage 
  • High cavity incidence for vulnerable populations 
  • Advanced tooth mobility and/or trauma 
  • New patient with a chief complaint of pain or swelling 
  • Missing fillings with or without sensitivity, with compromised tooth structure, loose tooth, or restoration (compromising function) posing an aspiration risk 
  • Adjunctive necessary procedures, such as immediate bone graft secondary to tooth extraction 
  • Various specialty services in mid-treatment or pending treatment that would compromise clinical results if left untreated for an extended time 
  • Prosthetic preparation for patients with pending ablative surgical procedures
