Default Is there a reason why he would not debride after the extraction?

Just curious here. I had an abscessed rct pulled a week ago and he didn't spend too much time debriding the area, maybe 3-4 minutes. I've read that a proper debridement should take 15 mins or so?

I'm not sure but I think he mentioned that the infection wasn't very deep or something. This guy has been working as an oral surgeon for over 30 years and has pulled thousands of tooth. I can only assume he knows what he's doing and for some reason he felt there was no need for a thorough debridement?
