4 0

Answer and Explanation:

During the whole biota history, there occurred extinctions due to different reasons.  

During the Cretaceous, which took place between 145-65 million years ago, there occurred a massive extinction that eliminated most of the species on the Earth. Many of the characteristic groups of this period were affected. Dinosaurs, Plesiosaurs, Ammonites, Tricodonts, Cycas, Gynkgos, Conifers, the recent angiosperms, birds, and mammals.  

The extinction was caused by the volcanic eruptions, and the unusual fall of many different asteroids, which caused important changes on the Earth´s surface. The consequent climatic change was what ended affecting all the species directly. The extinction was gradual, although it occurred in a short geological lapse of time.

<h3>What is the role of the oral dentist?</h3>

Tooth extractions are carried out by dental and oral specialists for various reasons. A painful tooth or a tooth that has been significantly affected by decay may be the problem. Sometimes a dentist will extract a tooth to make room for dental prostheses or other devices.

When the situation becomes increasingly complicated, an oral expert rather than a dental professional may need to extract a tooth. They typically remove wisdom teeth or third molars.

The dental professional or specialist will initially numb the tooth to gradually relax the patient. Even though tooth extraction may still be distressing, it may be essential for relieving dental pain and preventing further problems.
