when can extraction can be done in pregnant patients???

[tirath]

Extractions are safest if done in the second and third trimester. During the first trimester, the fetus is more prone to even minor traumatic or stressful episodes. Utilization of even a local anesthetic to numb the area before an extraction can allow some of the medication to entire the patient’s bloodstream. The effect of the medication on the fetus is variable.

So first trimester, but only with knowledge and acceptance of the OB-GYN. Second and third usually fine, but also get okay from OB-GYN..

Postural problems may arise while carrying out extractions in third trimester because of pressure of fetus on major vessels

What is the best position of a dental chair for a pregnant patient undergoin extraction procedure?

        

[divyanshee]

The patient should placed in supine, and procedures should be carried out in left lateral position.

what if this position is not favourable for extraction?

        

[Anonymous]

If the position is not favourable for extraction or causes discomfort the next best thing is to schedule after delivery…unless the patient is in need of immediate extraction.

One must keep in mind that more attention , in a pregnant woman needs to be paid to her gingival health as pregnancy related gingivitis and hyperplasia is more common, painful and requires immediate attention.
