23
Q

Indications for trans alveolar removal

A

Very dense bone

Severe root curvature

Prominent external oblique ridge

Gross caries/caries below bone crest

High risk of oap

hypercementosis

24
Q

Post op instructions for exo

A
Bite on gauze for 30min 
No rinsing out for 24h
No high intensity activities for 2-3 days
Soft diet, eat on other side
Sleep with head slightly inclined
Judicious pain control
25
Q

Possible complication sduring extraction

A

Failure to obtain adequate anaesthesia

Fracture of crown, root, tuberosity, opposing tooth

TMJ dislocation

Displacement of root into maxillary sinus, aspiration

Excessive hemorrhage

Wrong tooth extracted

Damage to soft tissue, nerves, adjacent teeth, maxillary sinus (oac)

26
Q

Possible complications post exo

A

Post op pain

  • damage t hard and soft tissue
  • dry socket
  • acute osteomyelitis
  • traumatic TMJ arthritis

Post op swelling

  • Edema
  • Hematoma
  • Infection
  • Trismus
  • Oroantral communication

Post op trismus ie myositis ossificans

Post op numbness due to nerve injury

27
Q

Clinical signs of OAC

A

Visualisation of sinus in socket

Part of sinus floor attached to root

Water enter nose from mouth

Misting of mirror on occluding nasal passage

Acute sinusitis — pus discharge, pain and erythema over sinus

28
Q

What is considered a small oac

A

<2mm

29
Q

How to trea moderate OAC

A

2-6mm, can heal on its own with local measures (surgical and suture)

nasal precautions for 10-14 days. ab, decongestants/antihistamines (syst or nasal spray) to maintain ostium patency and reduce thickness of mucous membrane, chlorhexidine m/w, dont sneeze with your mouth closed, no straw/smoking

30
Q

Post op instructions after surgery to fix large oac >6mm

A

No nose blowing, sneezing, straw drinking for 10 days

Nasal decongestant

Augmentin for 2 weeks

STO ≥10 days

31
Q

How long does it take for sinus membrane to reform

A

2 weeks

32
Q

Incidence of alveolar osteitis

A

5-20%

33
Q

Symptom of dry socket

A

Increasingly severe pain 3-7 days after exo

34
Q

Patient had tooth extracted. Begins to feel pain 4 days after extraction that becomes increasingly severe. Patient notices a bad smell. Possible cause?

A

Alveolar osteitis. Dissolution of blood clot, exposing lamina dura to the oral environment. Fibrinolysis due to increased fibrinolytics activity

35
Q

How to treat dry socket

A

Heals by itself within 2 weeks,

but symptomatic relief – irrigate and pack alveogyl, review after 1 week

36
Q

How to retrieve small root in antrum

A

2-3mm

Retrieve through irrigation

37
Q

Risk when leaving behind root in antrum

A

Risk of sinusitis

38
Q

Available local hemostatic agents

A

Gel foam, surgicel, collagen ring, transexamic acid

39
Q

What is secondary bleeding

A

Bleeding 7-10 days after exo possible due to infection

3 possible sources

  1. Bony socket
  2. Soft tissue
  3. Neurovascular bundle
40
Q

Healing process of extraction wound

A

Formation of blood clot filling the socket

Organisation of clot

Epithelialisation

Formation of woven bone filling the socket (1-2 months)

Woven bone is replaced by trabecular bone, alveolus remodelling
