lecture 3 Flashcards
indications for extraction
have to have an assessment - this is a 50 year old male, we are taking out number 5 for this reason
severe caries pulpal necrosis severe periodontal disease orthodontic reasons mal-opposed teeth cracked teeth pre-prosthetic extactions impacted teeth supernumerary teeth
potential contraindications for extractions
uncontrolled systemic conditions
pregnancy - 1st and 3rd trimesters don’t want to do anything -
2nd trimester if we have to get them out
bleeding?meds
local contraindications for extraction
previous head/neck radiation
previous systemic anti-resorptive therapy
acute pericoronitis - gum on the distal of the 3rd molar - we get in under control before we take it out
potential anatomic considerations for extraction
IAN proximity
Sinus
Adjacent teeth
chair and operator position for standing surgeon :
maxillary
maxillary teeth:
~maxillary arch level with surgeon’s elbow or below
~turn head to quadrant of extraction is visible
~lateral protrusive position of the mandible
patient lays down
chair and operator position standing surgeon
mandibular
upright so when mouth is open,. arch is parallel to floor
bite block
lower chair
turn head so quadrant of extration is visible
some prefer behind the patient approach
what kind of patients do we do pre-radiation
patients with head and neck cancer we do pre-radiation
radiographic eval for extractions:
~proper exposure
~proper date/name - less than _ old
~entire root visible
~relationship to vital structures (sinus, IAN)
~configuration of roots (length and morp, RCT)
~condition of surrounding bone (density, PDL,patholgy)
less than 1 Have to either have a periaplic, a pan or CBCT
Film has to be within a year
Things we want to look at when we get the film
Sinus, root, bone year old
what do we use as a “throat screen”
gauze
optional “behind the patient” position for _ extractions (which arch?)
mandibular extractions - especially when performing solo
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
all about mechanical advantage. not strength
place finger/thumb around alveolus to stabilize
never “pull” the tooth
push, rock, rotate
simple machines - basis of extraction techniques
_ instrument fulcrum on bone and lifts tooth out(crier the east west or flag)
lever action
simple machines - basis of extraction techniques
wedge to break off the _
break off the periosteum
simple machines - basis of extraction techniques
wheel and axle
look up in book
elevators:
_ technique - safer, more controlled force
- straight
- root tip
wedge
elevators:
_ technique likely to break fragil elevators or teeth and bone
-cryer, cogswell, straight
lever-mechanism
