Q

Tooth sectioning:

A
  • Different line of removal for different roots
  • Divide the root from furcation area
  • Make space for application of forceps or elevator
  • can do it to preserve the buccal bone if you want to place an implant later for example, divide the tooth into two parts, easier, and then it’s like dealing with 2 single rooted teeth

Q

Fracture of the tooth (crown or root) can occur due to? And what method is indicated

A

• Grossly carious
• Tooth with endodontic treatment (more fragile, easy to break dentin)

• Root infected/periapical lesions
• Healthy sinus/chronically infected

29
Q

Root displacement:
- most common location of root displacement of impacted maxillary third molar root ?

A

Maxillary sinus or infratemporal fossa

• The elevator may force the tooth posteriorly through the periosteum into the infra-temporal
fossa
• Retrieve the tooth with a haemostat
• Avoid further displacement

30
Q

Root displacement:
- most common location of root displacement of mandibular third molar root ?

A

Submandibular space

• Mandibular third molars frequently have dehiscence in overlying lingual bone
• Fractured molar roots/apical pressures
• Avoid apical pressures

31
Q

Other locations where the root might displace to?

A
  • nasal fossa
  • floor of the mouth
  • mandibular canal
  • zygomatic canal
  • cheek
32
Q

Tooth lost into the pharynx:
How should the patient be positioned and what should they do?

A

Patient positioning: position with the mouth facing the floor as much as possible

The patient should be encouraged to cough and spit the tooth out into the floor

Use the suction device

33
Q

2 possibilities when the tooth is lost into the pharynx:

A

Tooth swallowed or aspirated

34
Q

Tooth swallowed:

A

• Removing the tooth with a bronchoscope
• Went into the larynx

36
Q

Luxation of an adjacent tooth usually happens where?

A
  • Mandibular incisor region (because the root is very thin, easy to break when you apply force
    with an instrument)
37
Q

Luxation of an adjacent tooth:

A
  • Avoid forceps with broader beaks
  • Detect adjacent teeth significantly luxated
  • Reposition in the tooth socket and stabilise it

Replace quickly into the tooth socket

Inform the patient

39

40
Q

Which of the 3 examples of soft tissue injuries is the most common?

A

Tear of the mucosal flap

41
Q

Tear of the mucosal flap?

A

• Inadequate sized envelope flap
• Forcibly retracted beyond the ability of the tissue to stretch
• Prevention:
Creating adequately sized flaps to avoid excess tension on the flap
Using controlled amounts of retraction force on the flap
Creating realising incisions when indicated

42
Q

Stretch or abrasion:

A

• Inform the patient
• Keep the area clean with regular oral rinsing
• Such wounds heal in 4-7 days

43

A

Elastic

45
Q

If a fracture of the alveolar process occurs and the bone is removed from the tooth?

A

Dont replace, reposition the soft tissue

46
Q

If a fracture of the alveolar process occurs and the bone remains attached to the periosteum?

A

Separate from the tooth
Leave attached to the overlying soft tissue

47
Q

Fracture of the maxillary tuberosity might happen when extracting which tooth?

A

Maxillary third molar

48
Q

Fracture of the maxillary tuberosity:

A

A. Splint the tooth to adjacent teeth and defer the extraction by 6 to 8 weeks, Surgical extraction
B. Section the crown from the roots and allow the tuberosity and tooth root section to heal, Surgical extraction.

49
Q

Which nerves are frequently sectioned during the creation of flaps?

A

Nasopalatine and buccal nerves

50
Q

When is there a change of injuring the mental nerve

A

Surgical removal of mandibular premolar roots

And if u section the nerve from the exit, sensation wont return

51

When is there a chance of injuring the lingual nerve or inferior alveolar nerve?

A

Mandibular third molar surgical extraction

52
Q

Oroantral communications?
- when?
- sequelae?
- prevention?

A
  • Removal of maxillary molars
  • Sequalea: postoperative sinusitis/chronic oroantral fistula
  • Prevention: preoperative radiographic examination/ surgical extraction and section roots/avoid excessive apical pressures
53
Q

Injury to the TMJ ?
- when
- how to prevent
- treat?

A
  • Removal of mandibular molar frequently requires the application of a substantial amount of force
  • Adequate support of the jaw (bite block)
  • Moist heat, resting the jaw, a soft diet, anti-inflammatories
  • TMJ luxation/dislocation/reduction
54
