L3 Tooth Extraction Flashcards
Arm position for maxillary
Elbow level or below Max arch
Mandibular extraction position
Mandible parallel to floor
Wedge using
Small and straight elevators
Wheel and axle using
Flags
Purpose of elevators
Primary: Loosen teeth in prep for extraction w/ forceps
Second: remove parts of tooth
Straight elevator use
Expand alveolus/loosen tooth/PDL
Straight elevator common mistake
Fulcruming off of adjacent tooth
Cryer elevator type of force
Lever or wheel and axle force
Tip removes interseptal bone for easy access
Using root tip elevators
Only use as a wedge NOT FOR PRYING
Forceps use
Hand and lever
Primary force is apical (greatest magnitude)
Secondary is buccal, lingual, rotation
Examine socket for tissue using
Curette
Luxate using
Straight elevator
Luxation with forceps
Apical then Buccal then lingual then rotate
Figure 8 for multi-rooted teeth
Post extraction
Remove debris Realign buccal plate (compress socket) Debride granulation tissue SMooth sharp bone 2x2 gauze
Forceps 150 vs 151
150: max universal
151: mand. universal
How to use cowhorn 23
Seat furcation with pumping up and down motion
Only use on molars
Max Anterior teeth forceps
1, 150
Max molars forceps
150, 53 RL, 88RL
Which root is more favorable to fracture?
How does fusion of roots affect teeth?
buccal
Easier to extract
Man anterior forceps
151, ash
Easiest teeth to extract
Man. bicuspids, rotation forces are most important
