The Stobis method of extraction is indicated when:

A A single tooth is to be removed

B Two adjacent teeth have to be removed

C Impacted third molars are present

D Root stumps are present

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

The Stobis method of extraction is specifically designed for the removal of two adjacent teeth. This technique involves splitting the interdental septum and creating a single surgical socket, which allows for the efficient and atraumatic removal of both teeth together. It preserves the surrounding bone and soft tissue better than extracting the teeth separately. Hence, it is ideal when two adjacent teeth need simultaneous extraction. This method is not suitable for single tooth extraction, impacted molars, or root stumps due to its procedural design.
