Q

2 things to be done during instrument set-up

A
  1. Arrange the instruments in sequence according to the order by which they will be used
  2. Separate the non-sterile materials from the sterile materials.
22
Q

Rationale of arranging instruments in sequence

A
  1. minimize surgery time and consequent blood loss
  2. easily check that the instruments used are all still there before suturing up.
23
Q

Rationale of separating non-sterile materials from the sterile materials.

A

Cross-contamination is avoided

24
Q

In adjusting patient’s chair, what is the correct level of patient’s mouth when working on a. maxillary b. mandibular

A

a. Level of patient’s mouth is at the level of elbow
of operator’s working arm
b. patient’s mouth is below operator’s elbow

25
Q

The correct angulation of the occlusal plane in a. maxilla b. mandible during surgery

A

a. Maxillary plane - 60 degrees
b. Mandibular - parallel to the floor

26
Q

Rationale for correct chair height and position of dental light

A

adequate visibility and access

27
Q

8 steps in Closed technique of exodontia

A

Administer local anesthesia
Loosen surrounding soft tissues
Luxate tooth with an elevator
Grasp & luxate with extraction forceps
Deliver tooth out of the socket
Debride socket
Suture
Apply pressure dressing

28
Q

2 steps administering local anesthesia

A
  1. Apply topical anesthetic
  2. Inject 1ml approximating apex of the tooth on the labial & 0.5ml on the palatal or lingual mucosa (mucobuccal fold)
29
Q

a. Concentration of lidocaine with epinephrine
b. Maximum dose of lidocaine (mg/kg)
c. Max. no. of cartridges of lidocaine (1.8ml/carpule)

A

a. 2% w/ 1:100,000 epi
b. 7
c. 10

30
Q

4 steps in loosening the surrounding soft tissue attachment

A
  1. Using gum separator or molt periosteal elevator (MPE) #9, insert the instrument into the gingival sulcus
  2. Then proceed deeper until the crest of the alveolar ridge is reached
  3. MPE #9 or gum separator is used to sever the soft tissue attachment around the cervical area of the tooth
  4. The nondominant hand holds the alveolar process with index finger on the labial and thumb on the palatal side
31
Q

Rationale for loosening the surrounding soft tissue attachment

A
  1. allows the tip of the elevator to be seated at the crest of the alveolar bone for leverage
  2. so that the beak of forceps could grasp the bottom part of the tooth
32
Q

Mechanical principles applied when luxating the tooth

A

Lever
Wedge

33
Q

This acts as a fulcrum when luxating the tooth to be extracted using elevator

A

Alveolar crest

34
Q

To avoid trauma, do not lean to the adjacent tooth (unless the adjacent tooth is also for extraction)

A

True

35
Q

In applying the elevator as a wedge, we must establish this to minimize accidental plunging into the surrounding tissues

A

Occlusal finger stop

36
Q

Principle of wedge

A

No two things can occupy the same at the same time;
when the elevator is wedge into the periodontal space, the tooth would get displaced

37
Q

Mechanical principle applied in forceps extraction:

A

WEDGE

38
Q

Technique in tooth luxation and forceps delivery

A
  1. Adapt the beak on the root surface apical to the cervical line
  2. Apply slow deliberate pressure on the socket wall from labial then palatal area in a pendulum movement
39
Q

Rationale in tooth luxation and forceps delivery

A

Acting as a wedge, tooth is used to apply pressure on the socket walls to expand the bony socket

40
Q

Direction of pressure applied in sequence for a tooth with single conical root

A

Apical
Labial
Lingual
Rotational (mesial and distal)
Traction

41
Q

4 rules in use of elevators

A
  1. The dental elevator must always use buccal bone
  2. Concave surface of the blade must be in contact with the mesial or distal surface of the tooth to be extracted and inserted between the tooth and alveolar bone
  3. Elevation should be done at the mesio- and distobuccal line angle of the root
  4. The elevator is inserted perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth initially and directed inwards going towards the apex of the tooth
42
Q

Functions of nondominant hand

A
  1. Reflects the soft tissues of the cheeks, lips and tongue
  2. Supports the alveolar process of the maxilla (stabilize patient’s head)
  3. Supports and stabilizes the mandible (avoids injury to the TMJ)
43
Q

Rationale for socket debridement

A
  1. reduce incidence of postop or residual infection
  2. reduce possible bleeding from retained irritants
44
Q

After socket debridement, we compress the socket wall into its original position. What is the rationale behind this?

A

improve contour of the alveolar bone – the simplest form of alveoloplasty

45
Q

After compressing the socket, pass your gloved finger over mucosa of extraction site and check for sharp bony projections. What do you use to cut and smoothen bony projections?

A

bone rongeur or bone file

45
Q

After compressing the socket, pass your gloved finger over mucosa of extraction site and check for sharp bony projections. What do you use to cut and smoothen bony projections?

A

bone rongeur or bone file

46
Q

After simple alveoloplasty, what do you use to debride the socket from any loose bony particles

A

NSS

47
Q

What type of suture is done at the following:
a. Interdental papilla that had been cut
b. Wide sockets like molar sockets
c. Multiple teeth extraction

A

a. Simple interrupted suture
b. Figure of 8
c. Continuous locked suture

48
Q

Where do we place all knots of suture

A

labial/buccal side

49
Q

Proper application of pressure dressing

A

Ask patient to bite on a piece of moistened gauze as pressure pack for at least 30 minutes to control postop hemorrhage or until patient reaches his house

50
Q

Postoperative instructions for the following:
1. Rest
2. Analgesia/pain
3. Edema/swelling
4. Bleeding
5. Infections
6. Diet
7. Oral hygiene

A
  1. 1-2 days rest depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s physical condition
  2. prescribe analgesics or NSAID for pain control every 4-6 h, prn.
  3. cold compress (ice pack wrapped in a towel) over the surgical area for 10-15 mins and repeat every hour, for at least 4-6 h
  4. patient must bite firmly on a gauze pad placed over the wound for 30-45 min
  5. antibiotic
  6. on the day of surgery, must consist of cold, liquid foods, or semi-soft diet (or as related)
  7. No mouth rinsing for the first 24h, After 1 day, take warm saline rinses 3x per day for 3-4 days, the teeth should be brushed but area of surgery is avoided
51
Q

Follow up is done for suture removal after how many days

A

5-7 days
