39
Q

details about the vertical releasing incisions

  3. should cross the free gingival margin at the line angle of the tooth (avoid cutting the papilla away)
40
Q

adequate radiogrpahs include?

A
  1. root apexes
  2. morphology

adjacent structure like

  • sinus
  • IAN
41
Q

Three conditions must be met for a tooth / root fragment to be left in the alveolar process

A
  1. The root fragment must be small <4-5 mm
    1. The root must be deeply embedded
    2. The tooth involved must NOT be infected
      No radiolucency present
42
Q

in order For a surgeon to leave a previously described root fragment in place

A

The risk of removal must be greater than the benefit

43
Q

Three examples of when the risk of removal would be greater than the benefit

A
  • Large amounts of bone must be removed
    • The root tip is close to vital structures
      There is a high liklihood the root tip may be displaced
44
Q

If a root tip is left in place what must occur

A
  1. Patient must be informed
  2. radiographic documentation is obtained
  3. the decision to leave the root tip must be well documented in pt. chart
  4. the patient should be placed on a periodic recall schedule
  5. the patient should be instructed to contact you if they develop any symptoms
45
Q

multiple extractions sequencing and why

A

maxillary before mandibular

  • aneshetic considerations
  • wound contamination (debris)

posterior before anterior
- the 1st molar and canine teeth are removed last

46
Q

teeth that are removed last

A

1st molar and canine

47
Q

main components / tools to control bleeding

3rd day

57
Q

for infection control consider…

consider antibiotics

58
Q

trismus details

A

heat packs may be helpful

59

ecchymosis

onset?

  • onset usually in 2-4 day post-op
  • can last 7-10 days
60
Q

radiographically needs to show what on roots

A

apex

morphology

*adjacent structures need to see sinus and IAN

61
Q

Cardinal rules of surgery

A
  1. adequate visualization
    - light, retraction, and suction
  2. unimpeded pathway for removal
  3. controlled force (finesse, NOT force)
  4. aseptic technique
  5. atraumatic handling of tissues
  6. adequate hemostasis
62
Q

adequate visualization

A

light

retraction

suction

63
Q

Post-op instruction headlines

A
  1. activity
  2. diet
  3. pain control
  4. wound care
64
Q

soft tissue injuries include

A
  1. tearing of flaps (most common)
  2. puncture injury
  3. abrasions
65
Q

tearing of flaps

A

most common soft tissue injury – most common injury is to the mucoperiosteal flap

due to

  • poor design
  • excessive retraction force
66
Q

reasons for puncture injury

A

inadequate finger rest

67
Q

reasons for abrasions

A
  1. re-tractors can cause

rotary instruments

68
Q

main injuries to osseous structures

A
  1. bone fracture
  2. management of fractures
  3. tuberosity fractures
69
Q

main cause of bone fracture during extraction?

most common areas?

A

excessive force – common in the maxillary canine and maxillary molar area
- fracture of the maxillary tuberosity

70
Q

excessive force use common in?

A

the maxillary canine region and maxillary molar area

71
Q

prevention of bone fracture

A

age
poor morphology
thickness of buccocortical plate

72
Q

if bone is removed with tooth? if bone remains attached?

A

if it is removed completely with the tooth– do not attempt to replace it – no blood supply

if bone is still attacahed to periosteum- there is a high probability that the bone will heal

splint tooth and return 6-8 weeks for surgical extraction

remove crown and wait for healing (6-8 weeks)
