Why clinics withhold extracted teeth

The incident of a knocked-out molar at a dental clinic sparked widespread controversy in Egypt, after the clinics refused to hand over the extracted tooth to its owner despite her request. This was due to its classification as medical waste that must be properly disposed of according to infection control protocols. The tooth is directly placed into hazardous medical waste containers and handled, treated, and disposed of in accordance with strict health and environmental standards to protect public health and the environment. The syndicate emphasizes the importance of adhering to these procedures and is conducting investigations to determine the details of the incident and its connection to the infection control system.
