24
Q

achieving hemostasis

A

do this before you suture closed

25
Q

how to get tension free closure

A

undermine mucosal edges
- so undermine the tissue before suture

if dont - sutures can pull open

26
Q

descrete non -indurated lesion on dorsal tongue

excisional or incisional?

A

excisional biopsy - likely a viral lesion on the tongue like a papilloma

27
Q

what do you have to do before make incision on the tongue?

A

traction suture - controls the position of the tongue

- to be able to keep the tongue open

28
Q

lesion on outside of tongue - what type of suture

A

inverted vicryl sutures

29
Q

picture for incisional vs excisional

firm mass on buccal vestibule
well circumscribed

maybe fibroma?
neurofibroma?

A

structure near by?

- mental nerve parasthesia – bicuspid area

30
Q

large exophytic ulcer on lateral ventral aspect of the tongue

papible cervical lymph node

soreness is present

incision where?

A

fungal / cancer?
biopsy
- AT THE MARGIN OF IT

NOT THE CENTER - filled with acute and chronic inflammatory cells – not good biopsy

31
Q

former ‘smokers patch’ can become

A

invasive squamous cell carcinoma

32
Q

biopsy smokeless tobacco patch

A

yes

33
Q

unexplained pigmented lesions

A

unexplained area – biopsy

34
Q

non-healing extraction sockets

A

yes – needs to be biopsied

after 8 weeks
- needs to be excised

35
Q

tissue that does not respond to therapy

A

biopsy

prevent late gingival carcinoma

36
Q

red/ whire lesion with non healing ulcer

A

lichen planus

erosive lichen planus - low risk of malignancy but still have to biopsy

37
Q

fibro-vascular lesion? implication

A

needs to be biopsied - likely to bleed

usually requires electro-cautery
- if dont have these might rethink

38
Q

pregnant ? what to do first?

A

get lab tests first

39
Q

large mass hard / soft palate

firm dome shaped

A

excisional biopsy

  • borders extend beyond the mass
  • subperiosteal disection - to the hard palate
  • obturator made
40
Q

ranula marsupialization technique

A

scissors to create a incisiaonl spread

  • take out whole thing
  • take care of bleeding
  • undermining tissue – no tension
  • suture
41
Q

firm mass biopsy where / no ulceration where incisional

A

CENTER

-

42
Q

mucosal stripping? ventral lateral tongue

non-indurated (soft)

A

excisional

  • removed it all
  • using the traction control suture because on tongue
43
Q

wedge resection technique

A

3-D

  • lips most of the time
  • orient the vermillion border
  • deeper
44
Q

vesiculobullous lesion

A

+ nikolsky sign
sloughing of tissue

like pemphigus

may take biopsy in two sites - not in the center

  • may use some normal tissue too

topical steroids and anti-fungal agents

45
Q

non-healing ulcer at least - pain

vs painless ulcer

A

6 weeks non healing – be worried about this - but may not be cancer - but needs to be biopsied

painless - insitu cancer

46
Q

trauma and ulcer

A

remove the trauma - allow to heal – if does not heal - then decide to biopsy

47
Q

lesions we do not biopsy - he noted on the palate

A

small little red dots – because we have history of multiple palatal injections

48
Q

shallow ulcer with erythematous base?

ask them what?

A

eat something hot?? – burn

dont need to biopsy

49
Q

acute candidiasis?

A

dont need to biopsy

50
Q

large uleration on tongue - lateral

A

could be viral

primary syphalis

51
Q

molt currette

A

for bony lesions

52
Q

general rule for curette use

A

used on lesions which are well defined on x-ray

53
Q

incisions for bony lesions where - in general

A

must lie over solid bone

limit chance of complications like communication with sinus and nasal cavity

54
Q

cyst in the maxilla? displace to

A

can displace into sinus and nasal cavity

55
Q

what to do with all large cystic radiolucencies?

A

ASPIRATE - rule out a central vascular lesion

why?
- wont be able to stop the bleeding

56
Q

removal technique for bigger lesions like an ameloblastoma

A

do an incisional biopsy first to know what dealing with

block incision
- normal bone periphery included in specimen

about 1.5 cm away from lesion - like this normal has to come out with it

57
Q

fiibro-osseous lesions use

A

punch biopsy

58
Q

unexplained root resorption?

A

biopsy the peri-apical tissue when do extraction

59
Q

general principles of radio-opaque fibro-osseouos lesions?

A
  1. biopsy central of lesion
    - punch biopsy technique
    - minimal periosteal elevation
  2. bone shave / recontouring for very large lesions of fibrous dysplasia
