CLINICAL ASSESSMENT first!
What are the 3 A’s that are basic necessities for surgery?
1.Adequate visibility 2.Assistance 3.Aseptic technique
Which class of surgical wound and what is its description? An uninfected operative wound in which no inflammation is encountered and the respiratory, alimentary, genital, or urinary tract is not entered
Class I, Clean
Which class of surgical wound and what is its description? Open, fresh, accidental wounds. Acute, non-purulent inflammation is encountered.
Class III, Contaminated
Which class of surgical wound and what is its description? Old traumatic wounds with retained devitalized tissue and those that involve existing clinical infection.
Class IV, Dirty-Infected
Which class of surgical wound and what is its description? An operative wound in which the respiratory, alimentary, genital, or urinary tracts are entered under controlled conditions and without unusual contamination
Class II, Clean-Contaminated
**Which surgical classification (I-IV) do we as dentists and oral surgeons usually work with?
Class II, clean-contaminated
What 2 types of injury can be caused by surgery?
physical and chemical
Incision, Crushing, Thermal, Drying, Disruption of blood flow are all examples of WHAT TYPE of injury caused by surgery?
physical
Non physiologic pH, Protein denaturation (hypo- or hyper- tonic), Vascular constriction (eg. By epinephrine) are all examples of WHAT TYPE of injury caused by OS?
Chemical
For best healing: incisions- use the blade _______ to the surface you are cutting
perpendicular
For best healing: incisions- we want to place our incisions through attached ______ and over sound _____
gingiva….bone
A _____ is a segment of soft tissue which can be moved to gain surgical access or to permit reorientation of the tissue.
FLAP
What are the 3 potential complications of flaps?
1.necrosis 2. dehiscence 3.tearing
Proper flap design: _____ of flap should be wider than the ____
base….tip
Proper flap design: Base should be greater than or equal to ___X the height
2X
Proper flap design: When possible, an _____ blood supply should be included in the base of the flap
AXIAL (mucosa?)
Proper flap design: Make releasing incisions ___-___ teeth away from the extraction site
1-1.5
Proper flap design: Incisions heal _____, not end-to-end, so ______ incision (wider flap, better access) is better
ACROSS from each open flap….. LONGER
Tissue handling- IRRIGATION is GOOD, what do I irrigate with? Especially when cutting what tissue?
Sterile Saline…BONE
POORLY CONTROLLED BLEEDING ALSO ALLOWS FORMATION OF ________, WHICH INCREASE TENSION ON THE WOUND EDGES, DECREASE VASCULARITY, AND PROVIDE A CULTURE MEDIUM WHICH INCREASE RISK OF POSTOP INFECTION.
HEMATOMAS
_________ : (ANY SPACE THAT REMAINS EMPTY OF TISSUE AFTER WOUND CLOSURE) USUALLY FILLS WITH ______ - HIGH POTENTIAL FOR INFECTION
DEAD SPACE….blood
Eliminate dead space! 1.suture tissue _____ together 2.pressure dressing 3.packing 4.drains
planes
As bacteria quickly contaminate any wound open to the environment, risk of infection can be decreased by _______ the wound during surgery and closure.
IRRIGATING

steriods
Wound repair: _________- Injured epithelium is “programmed” to reestablish continuity by proliferation, migration and ______ inhibition.
epithelialization…CONTACT
