Instrumentation Flashcards
(elevating tissue)
• For interdental papillas, attached gingiva,
crestal periodontal fibers
- Fine/ precise mvmnts
WOODSON NO. 1
(elevating tissue)
• Pointed end for interdental papilla
• Broad end for free alveolar mucosa
elevation and flap retraction
MOLT NO. 9
(TECHNIQUE FOR ELEVATING MUCOPERIOSTEUM)
• Most common technique used, especially when combined with rolling/lifting component
• Push stroke
(TECHNIQUE FOR ELEVATING MUCOPERIOSTEUM)
• Good for interdental papilla
• Rolling/lifting
____ retractor
- Great for tongue retraction, and flap retraction
- Not used as a periosteal elevator (blunt ends)
• Seldin retractor
_____ retractor
- Cheek, flap retractor
- Workhorse of retractors in OMS
• Minnesota retractor
• Wieder retractor, a.k.a. “Sweetheart” retractor is used for _____ retraction
TOngue
• Any flap instrument for compressing bone around a nutrient ves
Burnisher
- Three teeth opposed
- Stabilize tissue while passing suture needle
- Not good for grasping needle
- Used on skin
ADSON FORCEPS
- Multiple serrated tips
- Grasping keratinized mucosal edges
- Good for grasping needle
- Not for skin or fine tissue
BROWN FORCEPS
• Grasping and manipulating large portions of tissue that are going to be removed from the
body
• I.E. epulis fissuratum, lesions, bone
• Not for grasping tissue that will remain
• Too much trauma from beaks
Allis tissue forceps
- Most commonly used for alveoloplasties
- Will crush/cut lips if not paying attention
- A relatively atraumatic means of removing bone
- Quick cut, does not create heat like a handpiece and bur
- Types:
- Side cutting
- End cutting
Rongeurs
- Used for final smoothing of small areas of sharpness
- Pull stroke is the action stroke
- Crosscut or parallel grooves
• Bone file
- MUST NOT EXHAUST AIR INTO OPERATIVE FIELD
- Electric vs Nitrogen powered
- Completely sterilizable
- High speed and torque
• Handpiece:
- Air-driven handpiece during surgical extraction
- Sudden edema
- Crepitus to area
- Possible for air embolus
- Air forced through venous system
- Possibly requires airway protection
- ABX to prevent secondary infection
- Resolves 3-7 days
Air emphysema
• Carbide • One time use, then throw away • #6 or #8 for bone removal or grooves • #702 or #703 for sectioning teeth/contouring alveolus/troughing • #703 has larger radius versus #702
Burs
- Surgical handpiece must be done under copious irrigation
- Will generate heat and kill superficial bone
- Thermal necrosis occurs at ____
47°C
• 6” or 15 cm
• Grasping surface on beak is crosshatched (prevent
needle spinning)
• As opposed to hemostats which are parallel
• Needle prone to spin
• Needle holder
