instrumentation and sutures Flashcards
INCISING TISSUE tools
ELEVATING TISSUE tools
WOODSON NO. 1
MOLT NO. 9
name? used for?
WOODSON NO. 1
* For interdental papillas, attached gingiva,
crestal periodontal fibers
name/used for?
MOLT NO. 9
* Pointed end for interdental papilla
* Broad end for free alveolar mucosa elevation and flap retraction
TECHNIQUES FOR ELEVATING MUCOPERIOSTEUM
* Push stroke
* Most common technique used, especially when combined with rolling/lifting component
* Rolling/lifting
* Good for interdental papilla
* Pull stroke
* Not used too often as it tends to tear and shred periosteum
name/use
- Seldin retractor
- Great for tongue retraction, and flap retraction
- Not used as a periosteal elevator (blunt ends)
NAME/USE
- Minnesota retractor
- Cheek, flap retractor
- Workhorse of retractors in OMS
name/use
- Wieder retractor, a.k.a. “Sweetheart” retractor
name/use
- Hemostat: control hemmorhage
- Crile, Kelly, Halstead (a.k.a. “mosquito”)
- Straight or curved
- Handle with locking device once vessel is clamped
- Also used for removing granulation tissue or small root tips
name/use
- Burnisher
- Any flap instrument for compressing bone around a nutrient vessel, control hemmorhage
GRASPING TISSUE tools
ADSON FORCEPS
BROWN FORCEPS
allis forceps
name/use
ADSON FORCEPS
* Three teeth opposed
* Stabilize tissue while passing suture needle
* Not good for grasping needle
* Used on skin
name/use
BROWN FORCEPS
* Multiple serrated tips
* Grasping keratinized mucosal edges
* Good for grasping needle
* Not for skin or fine tissue
name/use
- Allis tissue 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
REMOVING BONE tools
Rongeurs
chisel and mallet
bone file
hand piece
Rongeurs
- 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 (Blumenthal Rongeurs)
- Chisel and Mallet
- Cleanest means of removing bone
- Can create traumatic forces to TMJ/jaw without proper support
- Mallet: occasionally with nylon face to decrease noise/trauma
- Unibevel - bone removal
- Bibevel - splitting teeth
- Bone file
- Used for final smoothing of small areas of sharpness
- Pull stroke is the action stroke
- Crosscut or parallel grooves
bone file
- Handpiece:
- MUST NOT EXHAUST AIR INTO OPERATIVE FIELD
- Electric vs Nitrogen powered
- Completely sterilizable
- High speed and torque
AIR EMPHYSEMA
- 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
burs to remove bone
- 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
thermal considerations of handpiece
- Surgical handpiece must be done under copious irrigation
- Will generate heat and kill superficial bone
- Thermal necrosis occurs at 47°C
REMOVING SOFT TISSUE FROM BONY DEFECTS tools
- Curettes
- Hemostats
- Rongeurs
SUTURING MUCOSA tool
- Needle holder
- 6” or 15 cm
- Grasping surface on beak is crosshatched (prevent
needle spinning) - As opposed to hemostats which are parallel
- Needle prone to spin
CUTTING SUTURE/TISSUE tools
* Iris scissors
* Tissue cutting only, do not use for suture cutting
* Dean angled scissors
* Tissue and suture cutting
* Serrated
HOLDING MOUTH OPEN
* Bite block
* Passively placed
* Decreases stress on TMJs
* Molt mouth prop
* Ratcheting system to remain open
* Can severely damage TMJs and teeth
SUCTIONING
- Surgical suction
- Small orifice
- Some with wire stylet used to clean tip
what is this? what are the portions?
DENTAL ELEVATORS
* Uses:
- Luxate teeth, NOT to remove teeth
- Minimizes root fractures
- Requires a fulcrum point
DENTAL ELEVATORS
* Types:
- Straight
- Flag/Cryer
- Pick
DENTAL ELEVATORS
* Crane pick/Cogswell:
- Elevate roots or teeth applied to a purchase point
potts elevator
E92
dental elevator
* MAGIC STICK!! (E-92)
* Offset shank to aid in luxation force
Primary instrument for tooth delivery
forceps
EXTRACTION FORCEPS
max and man ones
- Maxillary Forceps
- Beaks parallel to handle
- Palm under handle
- Mandibular forceps
- Beaks almost perpendicular to handle
- Palm on top of handle
