Q

Where cautery is required, can you think of a way to limit damage to the surrounding tissues and vasculature?

A

If electrocautery is required, it is best applied with bipolar forceps (avoiding monopolar cautery) to limit the effect on surrounding tissues and decrease vascular damage.

Q

Steps for a rim excision.

A

1.After mucoperiosteal incision, the soft tissues are subperiosteally elevated (ventrally) away from the planned ostectomy site.
2. At the level of the attached gingiva, the soft tissue incision must be narrower than the bony incision to be able to cover the bone tension-free with gingiva on completion of the procedure.
3. The ostectomy is performed in an interdental space. A surgical handpiece combined with an osteotomy burr or an oscillating saw or a TPLO saw are the instruments of choice.
4.The bone margins may have to be smoothed.
5. The attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa are sutured over the bony defect.
