Dentoalveolar Flashcards
Gelatin sponge AKA “…” disrupts platelets and causes a clot to form.
How long does the gelatin sponge take to resorb?
Gel foam
Two weeks
Oxidized regenerated cellulose AKA “…” is (more/less) efficient than gelatin sponge.
Oxidized regenerated cellulose has what effect on the duration of healing?
In what period of time does this product resorb
- Surgicel
- More efficient than gel foam
- Delays healing
- 7 -14 days
When metabolized, what type of environment does surgicel create in the extraction socket?
Surgicel creates an acidic environment and has been associated with nerve dysfunction
Type I bovine collagen plug AKA “…”
Collaplug
Inferior Alveolar Likelihood of injury study
Authors and Year and Number of criteria
Rood and Shebab 1990
Rood and Shebab, 1990, determined three specific radiographic signs that signify increased risk of injury to the IAN
1- Diversion of the canal
2- Darkening of roots
3- Loss of cortical border
Other risk factors for injury to the IAN include
Age >25; F>M; Socket curettage; intra-socket medications
Imaging to obtain after aspiration of object
PA and lateral chest x-ray; abdominal x-ray determines respiratory vs. GI tract
If tooth is in respiratory tract, how should it be retrieved?
Bronchoscopy
If tooth is in GI tract, is intervention warranted?
No, request patient to evaluate stool and assess for passage
Presenting signs of Ludwig’s Angina
Pain, drooling, dysphonia, brawny neck edema, tongue protrusion, dyspnea
What are the three bacteria most commonly associated with pericoronitis?
- Peptostreptococcus
- Fusobacterium
- Porphyromonas
What is the most common reason for removal of mandibular third molars after the age of 20?
Pericoronitis
What is the percentage of neoplastic change of the third molar follicular sac generally noted as?
Roughly 3 percent
What are three general contraindications for removal of impacted teeth?
- Advanced patient age
- Poor health
- Surgical damage to adjacent structures
What is the most common type of tooth impaction following third molar impactions?
A palatally positioned maxillary canine
When performing an expose and bond, should the CEJ be exposed?
No, exposure of the CEJ has been shown to increase root resorption, increase ankylosis, and increase periodontal inflammation
When is the appropriate timing in root development for surgically uprighting the mandibular second molar?
When the apex is open and 2/3 of the roots are developed
Place the following in the correct order of difficulty of extraction (least to most difficult) Distoangular Vertical Horizontal Mesioangular
Mesioangular
Vertical and horizontal (intermediate)
Distoangular
According to Miloro, what percentage of lingual nerves are intimately associated with the lingual cortical plate in the third molar region?
25%
According to Miloro, what percentage of lingual nerves are above the lingual crest?
10%
What is the optimal amount, in ml, of sterile saline or water to thoroughly irrigate an extraction socket?
30-50ml
Generally, what category of contamination does the removal of impacted third molars fall into?
Clean-contaminated
Does the application of ice packs following extraction of dentition have any effect on the magnitude of edema?
No, ice packs are for patient comfort only
What are two categories of patients that have a higher likelihood of developing alveolar osteitis?
Smokers and women taking oral contraceptives
A gelatin sponge soaked with which antimicrobial may reduce the incidence of dry sockets?
Tetracycline
Define alveolar osteitis
A disturbance in healing that occurs after the formation of a mature blood clot but before the blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue, with a primary etiology of excess fibrinolysis which begins to occur on the third to fourth day post-operatively
Dodson has studied the utilization of bone grafting the third molar extraction socket extensively. In what population has he identified as benefitting from this grafting procedure?
Patients older than 25, have pre-existing periodontal defects such as probing >4mm, and horizontal or mesioangular impactions
Why are cortical grafts not ideal for subsequent implant placement?
Cortical grafts revascularize slowly and have minimal yo no cell survival
Which type of graft, cortical or cancellous, has more mesenchynal stem cells, which can be induced to form osteoblasts
Cancellous grafts have a higher concentration of mesenchymal cells
What type of stem cell will differentiate into an osteoblasts?
A mesenchymal stem cell differentiates into osteoblasts, which then form osteoid.
In bone grafts, the formation of osteoid takes place in phase one of of the two phases of graft healing. It is usually an active phase for the first two to four weeks.
Initiation of osteoclastic activity is a sign of which of phase of bone graft healing?
Osteoclastic activity is a sign of the initiation of phase two of bone graft healing, which usually occurs two weeks into the healing process.
Why does allogenic bone not have BMP?
What is the downside of this?
Allogenic bone has to be irradiated with gamma rays. This destroys BMP
Therefore, the allogenic bone grafts are not osteoinductive
