AIMS
indications for extraction? (12)
- 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

Patients with teeth in the fracture line showing no response on pulp vitality testing should be advised extraction to avoid further complications.
what factors to consider when deciding if the extraction is safe to perform?
- Aware of medical history?
- Contra-indications?
- Know limitations (surgeons capabilities) REFER??
Factors that affect difficulty of extraction
- Tooth
- Supporting structures
(PDL, bone) - Proximity to adjacent structures
(nerves, other teeth, maxillary
antrum) - Access
what tooth factors do we look at while deciding to extract tooth?
What supporting structures do we look at when deciding to extract?
What structures in close proximity to the tooth requiring extraction do we need to look at before extracting?
What access factors do we need to look at before extracting teeth?
Planning before extraction is very important and ensuring you have all the required equipment!
- in oral surgery department will have this equipment for extractions
- what are the required pieces of equipment?r
What are the 2 main types of extraction?
THIS LECTURE LOOKS AT ROUTINE EXTRACTION (using elevation, luxation + forcep extraction)
NEXT LECTURE (EXODONTIA PART 2) LOOKS AT SURGICAL APPROACH
Overview mechanisms of routine extraction?
PATH OF REMOVAL
1
Path of removal of tooth is determined by?
2
Routine extraction path of removal determined by?
3
Surgical extraction path of removal determined by?
)
Main instrument used in routine tooth extraction?
Forceps
Look a bit like pliers
What is each part of forceps called and how does it help with tooth extraction?
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
How does positioning of the blade with the handle effects it’s function?
- Blades in long axis of handle = REMOVE UPPER TEETH
- Blade in right angles to handle= REMOVE LOWER TEETH
How to hold forceps?
- 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
HARD TO SEE IN LECTURE, WILL SEE ON CLINICS BETTER
1
What do the blades need to fit for effective extraction?
2
What do you do if the blade doesn’t fit this?
4 main methods of routine tooth extraction?
What do forceps do to help with tooth removal?
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
