Mandibular 3rds
Mesio, vertical, disto (hardest), horizontal
Maxillary 3rds
Vertical disto mesia horizontal
3rds patient selection
2/3 root formation 18-25 Bone less dense incomplete root system quicker healing less complicated healthy without psych no job restrictions to numb lip
Max 3rd techniques
crystal incision more facial than palatal some surgeons do vertical release less tissue tension
watch for buccal fat pad
elevator ext
Mandibular 3rd technique
Avoid lingual
use distobuccal hockey stick release
Extend 1-2 teeth anterior to release papilla
reflect/secure messiah flap first way more likely to tear than distal flap
Mandibular 3rd technique mesioangular
fissure bur in furcation split distal then mesial
Mandibular 3rd technique vertial
remove portion of crown first
Mandibular 3rd technique horizontal
buccal trough remove crown leaving root tip
Mandibular 3rd technique distoangular
b trough extends distal
