Exo Flashcards
Possible complications of removing impacted upper molar
Tuberosity fracture
OAC
Perforated maxillary sinus
Damage adjacent teeth
Name some indications for exo
Grossly carious and cannot be restored
Acute/chronic pulpitis, cannot be restored by RCT
> 1/2 alveolar bone loss
Tooth fracture (root, longitudinal, lie in fracture line)
Bony lesion lies over tooth
Impacted
Ortho
Supernumerary
Pre bisphosphonate therapy
Retained deciduous
Tooth hurting soft tissue
Contraindications fro exo
Cardiac disease eg valvular heart disease
Blood disorders eg severe anemia
Liver disease, vit k deficiency
Pregnancy 1st and 3rd trimester
Malignancy (if extraction is around tumour site)
Patient on steroids
What must you do before exo
Time out
Why is it compulsory to take pre exo radiograph
Root morphology, proximity to vital structures, impacted teeth, periapical pathology, accompanying conditions eg sinusitis
How long does 2% lidocaine with 1:100000 epinephrine provide anaesthesia for
1 hour of dental pulp analgesia
3-5 hours of soft tissue analgesia
Possible complications of IDN block
Infection
Patients have tendency to bite tongue and lips
Nerve injury
How much to inject for IDN block
1.5-2ml
If lingual block required, withdraw needle 0.5cm and inject 0.5ml
Mental nerve block target
Apex of second premolar
How to use luxator
Wedge. Thin and sharp tip insert into narrow apical space between bone and tooth to slide in further
Rotating motion
How to use dental elevator
Prying motion, leverage
To loosen tooth prior to forcep use
How to use periotome
Sharp tip, tapering blade, insert between tooth and surrounding bone to cut PDL
Rotating, twisting motion
Motion when using forceps to extract mandibular molars
Buccolingual motion, more lingual motion because lingual plate thinner
What are the principles in expanding the bony socket
Socket dilatation
Small fractures of buccal plate and interradicular septa
Loose bone must be removed
How should patient be positioned for extraction of q4 tooth
Mandibular occlusal plane parallel to floor
Working height elbow level
Operator stand behind patient
How should patient be positioned for q2 extraction
Occlusal plane about 60º to the floor
Elbow level
Operator stand in front of patient
