apical surgery Flashcards
list the different names of apical surgery
- Apicectomy
- root end surgery
- Endodontic surgery
List the different classifications of Endodontics surgery
- Incision and drainage
- Periodical surgery
- Perforation/ resorption repair
- Root resection
- Diagnostic surgery
- Hemisection
- Trephinaltion
- Decompression
- Intension preimplantation
In modern day what do we usually do instead of Endodontics surgery
Give implants
What does diagnostic surgery often result in
Extraction of the tooth as a fracture is seen
way is trephination
crating a hole in the bone to encourage healing (v rare)
What are the indications fro Endodontics surgery
- to eliminate/ redice infection of Endodontics origin where this is not possible non surgically
- to repaire damage
- to assess teeth where a definitive diagnosis cannot be made without direct visual access of histological examination
What damage to root canal may we need to surgically manage
pathological eg sclerosis root
iatrogenic: instrument passed curvature of root
What carries a better prognosis: surgical or non surgical Endodontics surgery
In the vast majority of cases non-surgical (re)treatment will carry a higher prognosis
What are the contra indications for endodotnic surgery
- Operator experience
- Patient factors eg physiological and medical
- Access to surgical site
- local anatomical factors eg sinus, nerves and vessels
- poor restorative or periodontal prognosis
Which teeth are difficult to carry apical surgery on
- Lower incisors as they are slightly retroclined
- upper canines as they are Long
- Patients with high frenum
- Molars if patietn is suffering from trismus
- Palatal roots of molars due to proximity to sinuses
What considerations do we need to take when undergoing surgeries
- Soft tissue considerations
2. Hard tissue considerations
How do we manage the soft tissues
Flap design is a compromise between:
- access
- vision
- Recession
What factors affect flap design
- size and site lesions
- Presence of crowns/ veneers
- depth of sulcus
- Presence of arena, muscle attachments, bony prominences, thin tissue biotypes
Name the different types of name flap design we use
- Full mucoperiosteal flaps
2. Limited Mucoperiosteal Flaps
What shape can full mucoperiosteal flaps be
- Triangular (1 relieving incision)
- Rectangular (2 relieving incisons)
- Trapeziod (2 relieving incisons)
