Q

what values for periodontal probing depth?

A
  • Measurements are made at 4-6
    locations around the tooth
  • Normal values
  • Dog: 1-3mm
  • Cat: 0.5-1mm
    7Mm or more => needs extraction
  • Measurements greater than this
    without gingival enlargement are
    indicative of apical migration of
    the gingival attachment

    movement
24
Q

What dental tools?

A
  • Luxators -> sharp instrument cutting flat blade to sever periodontal lig
  • Dental elevators -> used as a lever, transmitting rotational force from handle to blade
25
Q

Hybrids?

A

These hybrid instruments have a sharp cutting edge but are made of more robust steel so they can be used for elevation too

26
Q

Extraction forceps?

A

Extraction forceps are used after elevation or luxation to grasp the loosened tooth and remove it from the alveolus.

27
Q

Periosteal elevators?

A

to elevate mucoperiosteal flaps

28
Q

Rotary instruments?

A

Rotary instruments are used in
oral and maxillofacial surgery
for sectioning teeth, removing
and smoothing alveolar bone,
cutting bone and drilling into
bone.

A high-speed hand-piece with a
carbide crosscut fissure bur is
indicated for sectioning multirooted teeth into single-rooted
units.

29
Q

Indications for extraction?

A
  • Periodontitis
  • Pulp Necrosis
  • Dental Fractures
  • Tooth Resorption
  • Chronic Gingivostomatitis/Chronic
    Ulcerative Paradontal Stomatitis
  • Persistent Deciduous Teeth
  • Malocclusion
  • Supernumerary, malerupted,
    unerupted Teeth
  • Caries
  • Teeth Associated with Pathologic
    Lesions
30
Q

Types fo extractions?

A
  • CLOSED vs surgical

Closed: other than within gingival sulcus not incising anything

31
Q

Indications for closed extractions?

A
  • Small, single-rooted teeth (incisors and 1st premolars)
  • Maxillary 2nd molars in the dog often have two/three partly fused roots, so
    these teeth are also usually extracted using a closed technique.
  • Significant bone loss and the resulting increase in mobility associated with
    periodontal disease usually leads to uncomplicated tooth extraction.
32
Q

Indications for surgical extraction?

A
  • Most multi-rooted teeth.
  • Canine teeth in most cases; non-surgical extraction predisposes to
    oronasal fistula.
  • Periodontally healthy teeth where considerable resistance to
    extraction may be encountered.
  • If radiographs reveal dilaceration or other abnormalities in
    root morphology
33
Q

ADJACENT STRUCTURES?

A
34
Q

Foramina and canals?

A
  • infraorbital foramen & canal!
  • Middle mental foramen
  • Mandibular canal!
35
Q

patient / surgeon prep?

A

pharyngeal gauze pack is recommended regardless of patient positioning to protect the airway.

  • Removal of CALCULUS prior to extractions
  • RINSING the oral cavity with a 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution
    prior to the procedure
36
Q

Types of gingival/mucogingival flaps?

A

-Envelope flap
- Extended envelope flap
- Triangle flap
- Pedile flap

37
Q

Envelope flap?

A
  • An envelope flap is a gingival flap (i.e. not extending apical to the
    mucogingival junction) created by making a sulcular incision and
    elevating some of the attached gingiva on the lingual and buccal
    aspects and no vertical releasing incisions.
38
Q

Extended envelope flap? (mucoperiosteal)

A
  • An extended envelope flap is useful for extraction of several
    adjacent teeth. They are mucogingival flaps, i.e. incisions extend
    apical to the mucogingival junction. Flaps used for extraction
    procedures are full-thickness flaps that also include the periosteum.
39
Q

Triangle flap?

A

mucogingival flap consisting of a sulcular incision
and one vertical releasing incision

40
Q

Pedicle flap?

A

a sulcular incision with two vertical releasing incisions, this flap provides the best exposure

41
Q

Local flaps?

A
  • outlined by a surgical incision
  • contains its own blood supply
  • allows access to underlying
    tissues
  • can be replaced in its original
    position
  • expected to heal after being
    sutured in place.
42
Q

Technique for mucogingival flap?

A
  • Incise through gingival sulcus
  • If a mesial vertical releasing incision is to be made and incision is placed at the distobuccal line angle of the adjacent tooth through the mucogingival junction and extending into the alveolar mucosa
  • A second distal vertical releasing incision may e made beginning at the mesiobuccal line angle of the adjacent tooth
  • Incisions should extend apical to the mucogingival junction, so that the flap is as long as the root of the tooth
43
Q

Bone removal step ?

A

(Alveolectomy)
* Using a round diamond (or carbide) bur in fine,
sweeping motions, the buccal alveolar bone is
removed beginning at the alveolar margin and
moving as far apically as desired.
* Minimal alveolectomy is often required for teeth
affected by periodontitis,
* Removal of up to 75% of the buccal alveolar
bone will facilitate extraction of teeth with little
to no bone loss, or ankylosed teeth.
* A small round bur may be used to cut the
periodontal ligament and make space for an
elevator or luxator

44
Q

next step?

A

Sectioning multi-rooted teeth with burr

45
Q

Luxation technique?

A

Luxator used as a wedge -> parallel to root tooth surfae
- Start at the periodontal lig space then advanced until apex is reached
- Go to opposite root surface and tear periodont lig

AVOID positioning luxator on buccal aspect of tooth as slippage mroe likely

46
Q

Elevation techniques for when?

A

robust roots - canines and carnassias

47
Q

Describe the elevation technique

A

Use as LEVER
- Place blade into periodontal space parallel to long axis of tooth
- Gently rotate to push the root away from the elevator, tearing the periodont lig and expanding the alveolar bone slightly

Use as WHEEL and AXLE lever
- Between the furcation of roots
- Placed at alveolar margin perpendicular to long axis and rotated with concave surface against the tooth
- Care not to wedge elevator against adjacent teeth

48
Q

Bone removal (Alveoplasty) ?

A
  • Sharp bone edges present after luxation and/or elevation will delay
    healing of the gingival flap and lead to postoperative discomfort.
  • Alveoplasty (the removal of these sharp bone edges) is performed
    with a round diamond bur on a high-speed hand piece or bone
    rongeurs.
49
Q

Management of the alveolus,?

A

Following alveoloplasty, the empty
alveolus is cleared of debris. In
cases of advanced periodontitis,
gentle curettage of the alveolus
should be performed to remove
pocket epithelium and any
remnants of subgingival calculus

50
Q

suturing ?

A
  • Size 5-0 and 4-0 poliglecaprone
    (Monocryl) is currently the most
    compatible suture material for intraoral
    use.
  • Monocryl loses 20 to 30% of its original
    tensile strength after 2 weeks, and is
    completely absorbed by hydrolysis in 90
    days.
51
Q

suture needles?

A

The reverse-cutting needle which has a flat surface along its inner curvature prevents the inadvertent cutting of tissue and is the most commonly used needle in
oromaxillofacial surgery.

52
Q

suturing the flap?

A
  • No tension on the suture line.
  • If necessary, bluntly dissect the flap submucosally towards the lip
    margin in order to gain more tissue.
  • Free the edge of the palatal/lingual mucosa by gently inserting the
    periosteal elevator between the bone and soft tissue. .
  • Lowering the margin of remaining alveolar bone using a round
    diamond bur will also help reduce tension.
  • The periosteum, may be incised if necessary, to ensure closure
    without tension.
53
Q

Periop Analgesia?

A
  • Opioids (pre-op and post-op)
  • Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
  • Local anaesthesia (regional nerve blocks)
54
Q

Important structures (nerve)?

A

Trigeminal CN V
- Sensory - emerges from trigeminal canal in the petrosal bone
- Divides into 3:
1. Ophthalmic
2. maxillary
3. mandibular

ALSO Maxillary nere
Mandibular nerve

A
  • Insert needle into infraorbital
    canal and inject local
    anaesthetic
    Or…
  • Deposit local anaesthetic at
    opening of the canal
    (infraorbital foramen)
56
Q

What other local of maxilla?

A
