Complicated Exodontia Flashcards
This is the delivery of the tooth requiring reflection of a flay, removal of bone and/or delivery of the tooth in multiple pieces
surgical extraction
What are the design parameters for soft tissue flaps
base broader than the margin
Where should the incision for soft tissue flaps be made
over intact bone
You can do this, if needed to avoid tearing involving soft tissue flaps
a releasing incision
The soft tissue flap margin should be where
NOT rest over an osseous defect; elevation over intact bone
True or False
a sharp incision heals better than tearing
True; so prevent tearing
This type of incision permits soft tissue reflection without tearing and should be over intact bone, but not an osseous prominence
vertical (oblique) releasing incision
What is meant by the vertical releasing incision is oblique
the base is broader than the apex
When making a vertical releasing incision, doing this helps with healing and suturing
crossing the gingival margin at the line angle of the tooth
This type of mucoperiosteal flap is sulcular in dentate patients and crestal in the edentulous area
envelope
This type of mucoperiosteal flap has a single vertical (oblique) release
three corner flap
This type of mucoperiosteal flap has two vertical releasing incisions
four cornered flap
This type of mucoperiosteal flap is limited in use besides the periapical surgery
semi-lunar
This type of mucoperiosteal flap has limited use besides access to bony palate for torus removal
“Y” incision
How should you make the incision
firm, with the scalpel blade contacting bone
How should you reflect the flap
with the sharp end of the periosteal elevator between the periosteum and bone
elevate along a broad front
What are the two principles of suturing
penetrate tissue with the needle perpendicular to tissue
follow curvature of needle as you pass through the tissue
Which direction should you suture
buccal to lingual
What are the four main indications for surgical extraction
avoiding need for excessive force
dense bone
exostosis
root morphology
