Q

basic principles of extraction:
~CONTROLLED FORCE
- all about _, not strength
-do not use excessive force
-recognize when it won’t work easily and processed to surgical extraction
-place finger/thumb around _ to stabilize

NEVER _ the Tooth

A

all about mechanical advantage. not strength

place finger/thumb around alveolus to stabilize

never “pull” the tooth
push, rock, rotate

Q

elevators:

_ technique we use a cryer for

A

wheel and axle

18
Q

purpose of _

primary purpose - loosen teeth in preparation for extraction with forceps

  • create space for forceps
  • may be primary mechanism for extraction 3rd molars
A

elevators

Always use elevators first

Sometimes only need an elevator

Primary - loosen it up

secondary - remove parts of tooth/root

19
Q

secondary purpose of elevators

A

remove parts of tooth or root

20
Q

usually the initial instrument used

primary use- for expansion of alveolus and loosening of tooth/PDL

-Good force, don’t damage adjacent teeth

Loosen of bone and pdl

  • often used incorrectly: do not fulcrum off the adjacent tooth
  • care must be used to avoid damage to adjacent teeth
  • use with working end pointed from _ toward the _ or _
A

straight elevators

working end pointed from facial toward the lingual or apex

NOT A CROW BAR

21
Q

straight elevator:

proper use is counter intuitive for _

  • wedges the apical edge of the elevator against _ and _ the tooth
  • avoids force on adjacent tooth
A

counter intuitive for mobilization

against crestal bone and pushes the tooth(does not scoop)

If isolated - Turn into the tooth not scoop out

If scoping out - we will elevator the adjacent

Can do this if doing full quad extract

22
Q

straight elevator:

when used to “scoop” the tooth out, significant force is placed on the adjacent tooth, do not do this routinely, use when _

A

used when taking out several adjacent teeth

23
Q

_ elevators:

lever and/or wheel and axle forces

care as can fracture tooth and bone

primary use- removing residual roots from multi-rooted teeth

  • sharp tip removes interseptal bone providing access to the retained root
A

cryer elevators

24
Q

primary use- removing residual roots from multi-rooted teeth

A

cryer elevators

25
Q

sharp tip removes interseptal bone providing access to the retained root

A

cryer elevators

primary use - removing residual roots from multi-rooted teeth

26
Q

_ elevators

fragile elevators

appearance seems to indicate they would be for “prying” out root tips
prying forces will bend/break these instruments

sole use is as a _, “wiggle” fine tip apically to _ root tip from socket, sharply pull in a vertical vector to displace root tip

A

sole use is as a wedge

wedge root tip (do not pry)

27
Q

when wedging out a root tip with a straight elevator the finger rest is to control _ force

-insert elevator into the PDL space, avoid pressure that will displace the root into the sinus

A

apical force

28
Q

Forceps

not for “pulling” teeth
-use the forcep as a _ and _

  • primary force is initially and greatest magnitude of force in _ direction to seat the forceps
  • secondary force is _ to expand alveolus to release the tooth
  • last is minimal _ force
A

as a handle and lever

primary force is initially in an apical direction

secondary force is buccal, lingual, or rotational to expand alveolus and release the tooth

last is minimal tractional force

First get periostoal elevator - loosen with small elevator and then forceps

29
Q

forceps movement produces significant _

A

wedging

expand the bone and rotate the tooth out

30
Q

loosening of soft tissue attachment:

sharp end of _ first for relief

  • dental curette
  • confirms anesthesia
  • allows forceps to be seated apically or elevator to be placed interproximally
  • be kind to soft tissue
A

sharp end of periosteal elevator

spoon end is for surgical extraction

31
Q

luxation with elevator

usually a _ elevator _ to the interproximal space or _ to the long axis of the tooth

  • luxate tooth
  • exapnd bone
  • avoid injury to adjacent teeth/crowns
  • confirms degree of mobility/establishes need for surgical extraction
A

straight elevator perpendicular to interprox space or

parallel to long axis of the tooth

32
Q

adaptation of the Forceps

choose forceps that will adapt well to the _ morphology of the tooth

  • confirm long axis of beaks clears adjacent teeth to avoid trauma
  • seat with apical force
  • avoid pinching soft tissue
  • firm apical force - move center of rotation apically to prevent root fracture
  • expands alveolus and widens PDL space
A

subg morp of the tooth

33
Q

forceps

  • firm apical force - move center of rotation _ to prevent root fracture
  • expands alveolus and widens PDL space
A

apically

34
Q

luxation with forceps:

firm grip
straight wrist with force generating from shoulder and upper arm (not wrist)

firm, steady, sustained force - hold and flex bone to allow expansion of the alveolus

primarily _ first with less _ force, rotate the tooth gently after mobilization

continue to re-seat the forceps apically, do not fracture the crown

A

primarily buccal at first with less lingual force

35
Q

removal of tooth from socket:
slight _ usually (buccal or lingual?) is the final step of removal of a tooth

not a pulling motion

A

slight traction - usually buccal is final step

36
Q

post-extraction care of the socket:

remove debris is present (PA lesion, calculus, amalgam, tooth fragments)

  • realign _ plate - compress socket
  • debride granulation tissue from gingival sulcus
  • smooth any sharp bone
  • pressure from 2x2 placed over the extraction site to promote hemostasis
A

realign buccal plate - compress socket

Digital palpation to confirm no sharp bone or anything

37
Q

forcep figure-8 or “ratchet” motion works well, especially for _ teeth

A

multi-rooted teeth

38
Q

_ forcep

designed to engage the furcation of lower molar

no crown requirement to engage tooth - may be better than 151 for broken down teeth

must seat into furcation with _ up and down action before any buccal/lingual rotation

seat on _ first taking care not to injure soft tissue

A

cowhorn #23 mandibular molar forcep

seat into furcation with pumping up and down

seat on lingual first

39
Q

maxillary incisors: #1 and #150

apical, buccal, lingual, rotation, traction

less rotational forces during the removal of _ teeth

A

maxillary laterals

40
Q

maxillary canines: #1 and #150

apical, buccal, lingual, rotation, traction
-these teeth have long roots and are difficult to extract

often require _
_bone is heavier than _ bone

A

often require mucoperiosteal flap

palatal bone is heavier than buccal bone

41
Q

Maxillary molars

if a root is going to fracture, then more favorable to fracture a _ root

A

more favorable to fracture a buccal root

42
Q

easiest teeth to extract?

A

mandibular bicuspids - premolars

very conical, straight roots
