Incision and Drainage
Done to provide relief of pressure.
Incision and Drainage

Incision and drainage
Don’t do this with anesthesia in incision and drainage.
Inject directly into the swelling.
Instead do a block, or infiltrate anterior and posterior to the swelling.
Surgical retreatment is AKA this.
Periapical surgery
t/f:
Periapical surgery is performed AFTER non-surgical RCT when post-tx disease persists.
True
The following are what?:
- Non-negotiable canals
- Complex anatomy
- Procedural errors
- Irretrievable canal obstructions (posts, etc).
Indications for periapical surgery.
Surgical retreatment ________:
- Anatomic considerations (IAN, mental foramen, maxillary sinus, etc).
- med complications.
- Unidentified cause of failure
Contraindications
Surgical retreatment procedure:
- Flap design (wide base contraindicated) and incision (parallel with blood vessels and collagen).
- Flap reflection and retraction.
- Osteotomy
- Apical curettage
- Root end resection (apicoectomy)
- Root-end preparation (retroprep).
- Root-end filling (retrofill)
- Flap decompression
- Suture flap
This flap base is contraindicated in surgical retreatment.
Wide base
Two types of flap design
1) Submarginal
2) Full mucoperiosteal (intrasulcular)
Another name for submarginal flap
Ochsenbein-Luebke
Which flap is this?
- Requires 4mm attached gingiva
- Scalloped incision parallels the free gingival margin
- Minimizes post-op gingival recession.
- Possible scarring
Submucosal (Ochsenbein) flap
What flap is this?
- Intrasulcular horizontal incision
- Provides maximum visibility and access
- Possible gingival recession
Intrasulcular/full mucoperiosteal
This removes inflamed tissue
Reduces hemorrhage
Provides visibility and access to apex
Provides a biopsy specimen
Apical curettage
