Q

indications for extraction? (12)

A
  • Unrestorable teeth
    - most likely due to caries
  • Periodontal disease
    - teeth w/ grade III mobility
    (virtually no bone support for
    tooth)
  • Pericoronitis
    - effects partially erupted teeth (usu
    wisdom), food getting stuck under
    gum surrounding tooth, causes
    localised inflam
  • Associated pathology (e.g. cysts, tumour)
  • Orthodontics
  • Trauma
  • Interfere with construction of a prosthesis
  • Tooth within fracture line
    • typically refer to teeth that are located within the line of a bone fracture
  • Teeth in a fracture line
    • typically means that the teeth are situated within or adjacent to a line of bone fracture
  • Abnormal/ supplemental teeth
  • Impeding eruption of other tooth
    - eg deciduous teeth that aren’t
    falling out
  • Financial / phobia

GOOGLE
Patients with teeth in the fracture line showing no response on pulp vitality testing should be advised extraction to avoid further complications.

Q

What is each part of forceps called and how does it help with tooth extraction?

A

HANDLE
- work by lever principle
- long handle attached to blade

BLADE
- Holds onto tooth during removal
- in long axis of handle (upper teeth) or right angles to handle (lower teeth)
- Wedged shaped blades – dilate socket break PDL

  • ‘Beak to cheek” – upper molar forceps

Q

How to hold forceps?

A
  • put index finger between handles so they can open forceps
  • engage tooth at CEJ (effectively coronal portion of root surface of tooth)
  • once engaged tooth removed index finger from between handles so can hold handle tightly (to provide apical pressure needed to remove tooth)
  • hand positioning on upper and lower forceps slightly different

Q

What do forceps do to help with tooth removal?

A

1 Sever PDL
2 dilate bony socket
(Coronally)

EXTRA
- help do this as sat on CEJ of root and blade will sit into PDL space and damage PDL corronally, hence sever
- and with wedge effect will dilate PDL spaced socket coronally
- as engage tooth properly, are able to move tooth laterally to dilate socket as well

Q

Why are teeth delivered buccally durning routine tooth extraction?

A
24
Q

Forcep extraction steps

A
  1. APPLICATION
    Separate coronal PDL from tooth:
  • Probe around the gingival margin of tooth (also tests anaesthesia)
  • open handle of forceps using index finger
  • place blades on CEJ (coronal portion of root) + engage
  • tips of blade should be hidden below gingival cuff (should slide blade down to this area with minimal soft tissue damage)
  • Align forcep beaks along long axis of tooth
  • Push forceps apically along root surface (cowhorns to engage furcation)
  • Engage root surface (grip root) with beaks by closing forceps
  • squeeze hard on forcep handle
  1. APICAL FORCE
    Maintain apical pressure throughout tooth extraction :
  • put a lot of pressure down the long axis of the tooth
  • apical positioning of tooth will dilate the socket

3 LATERAL MOVEMENT
Expansion of socket

  • buccal & palatal/lingual movement
  • Figure of ‘8’/ circular movement
  • Maintaining apical pressure throughout
  1. ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT
    Tear soft tissue attachment (apical granuloma/ gingival mucosa)
  • Removal of circular, single rooted teeth (upper incisors, lower
    premolars)
  1. DELIVERY
    * After tooth is mobilised traction forces remove the tooth from the socket
25
Q

Purpose of:

1
application of blades below gingival margin?

2
lateral movement?

3
rotational movement?

A

1
- Separate coronal PDL from tooth
- grip tooth

2
expand socket

3
tear soft tissue attachment

26
Q

why does apical pressure need to be maintained throughout whole extraction of tooth?

A

Apical force:
* Prevents beaks sliding off root
* Expands socket by positioning coronal, wider root apically
* Centre of rotation of tooth displaced apically to prevent tooth fracture
* Alters angle of force on roots

27
Q

how does centre of rotation effect extraction?

a
- optimum centre of rotation on root and how to ensure this?

b
what may affect the centre of rotation negatively and why might the root break?

A
  • centre of rotation effects the risk of the root breaking during extraction
28
Q

why is it important to dilate socket buccally and lingually + palatally

A
  • likely to get root fracture in multi rooted teeth

A
38
Q

why is chair positioning important?

A
  • can help tooth come out easier
  • if incorrectly positioned can hinder extraction
39
Q

EXTRACTION POSITIONING

1
MANDIBULAR Vs MAXILLARY EXTRACTION
- chair position
- chair height

2
ANTERIOR Vs POSTERIOR
- chair height

3
MANDIBULAR Vs MAXILLARY EXTRACTION
- head position

A

1
MANDIBULAR Vs MAXILLARY EXTRACTION
- want patient more upright than maxillary
- maxillary more reclined
- maxillary want chair higher compared to mandibular

2
ANTERIOR Vs POSTERIOR
- anterior want patient generally upright as access isn’t that difficult
- posterior lie patient more flat for better access

3
MANDIBULAR Vs MAXILLARY EXTRACTION
* Mandibular extraction - chin down
* Maxillary extraction – chin up
(WANT TO SEE OCCLUSAL SURFACES OF TOOTH

40
Q

what to do with other hand during tooth extraction?

A

1 SUPPORTING HAND

*Support the jaw - counteract force from forceps/ elevators to stabilize jaw
- support alveolar bone
*Finger rest

2 RETRACTION OF SOFT TISSUE

*Thumb and forefinger either side of arch adjacent to tooth
*Holds retractor - to see surgical sight

3 FEEL ADJACENT TOOTH

*Check adjacent tooth not mobilising during extraction/ elevation
- if mobilising hen need to change method of extraction otherwise adjacent mobile tooth may also come out

41
Q

what do elevators do?

A

sever PDL + can help dilate socket

42
Q

ELEVATORS

1
position

2

3
movement while extracting?

A
  • usu Positioned horizontally (90° to long axis tooth)
  • usu Applied to root surface (mesial, buccal or distal) (positioned within PDL space
  • Applied between root surface and alveolar crest (i.e. in PDL space).
  • Alveolar crest (not adjacent tooth) provides fulcrum

2
* Accidental elevation against adjacent tooth can mobilise adjacent tooth and even extract it (especially if adjacent tooth is last standing)

3
* Rotation movement
* Elevate buccally not lingually due to access (due to access)

43
Q

1

2
structure / names of parts of equipment

3
what partengages tooth and what does it try to do?

A

Q

WARWICK JAMES & CRYERS ELEVATORS

A
51
Q

WARWICK JAMES & CRYERS ELEVATORS

particularly useful to remove?

A

EXTRA - retained roots
- diagram = fractured L 2nd molar during removal
- has retained distal root
- cryers has been placed within mesial root socket to engage mesial surface of distal
- in order to do this sometimes interfercal bone needs to be nibbled away using cryers or warwick james (usu easy to do as quite soft)
- do this until instrument engages root surface
- then with rotation lifts root out of socket

52
Q

can you remove wisdom teeth just using elevators

A
  • should use elevators to mobilise molars

BUT not to remove tooth in its entirety

BECAUSE there’s no control and risk of tooth falling into patients throat
