midterm Flashcards
What is the characterisc of an Ideal alveolar ridge?
- Adequate FOM,
- Deep vestibule
- adequate bone height and width,
- kertinized/fixed tissue under dentures,
- absence of redundant tissues,
- no obstructing scars/frena,
- no displacemed mm attachments,
- proper jaw relation,
- proper shape (U),
- no protuberneces/undercuts,
When a tooth is no longer situated in the alveolar bone, what happen to the alveolar bone?
Unpredictable bone resorption, atrophy of ridge
What’s the purpose of vesbuloplasty?
relative ridge augmentation, increase vestibular depth and SA for denture by repositioning alveolar mucosa and mm attachments apically.
Better anatomic condition for denture construction by deepening the sulcus to provide healthy, firm soft tissue coverage of ridge thereby help in the denture flange extension. To provide adequate bony support for denture (decreasing dislodging forces by muscles and soft tissues in denture bearing areas).
Indications for performing alveolar ridge augmentaon
- Absolute augmentation indications: In man: severe resorb and less than 2cm bone in mid-body
- Relative indications: Indicated for a flat ridge with moderate resorption of the alveolar bone. IN MAN: If there is 2 cm or more bone present at the mid-body of the mandible. Height will be increased in the symphysis and the mid- body regions
Where can you procure bone for the autologous bone graft to maxilla / mandible? Please know the characteristics of bone resorption.
Iliac crest
Know the possible causes of tooth impactions
- Inadequate arch length
- Prolonged deciduous tooth retention
- Malposition of Impacted tooth
- Malposition of adjacent tooth/teeth
- Excessive bone and/or soft tissue
- Associated pathology
Indications for 3rd molar extractions?
* resorption of?
* Facilitate?
* orhto?
* 2nd molar?
* Pathology?
* Tooth interfering with?
* trauma/tumor?
* Prophylactic removal in patients with?
* Facilitate the management of or limit progression of?
* caries?
* pulp?
* Acute or chronic?
* position?
- Internal or external resorption of tooth of adjacent teeth
- Facilitate prosthetic rehabilitation
- Facilitate orthodontic movement and promote dental stability
- Orthodontic abnormalities (e.g., arch length/tooth size discrepancies, malposed/impacted second molars
- Pathology associated with tooth follicle (e.g., cysts, tumors)
- Tooth interfering with orthognathic, reconstructive surgery,
- trauma or tumor surgery
- Prophylactic removal in patients with certain medical or surgical Conditions or treatments (e.g. organ transplant, alloplastic implants, chemotherapy, radiation therapy
- Facilitate the management of or limit progression of periodontal disease
- Non-restorable caries
- Non-treatable pulpal lesions
- Acute or chronic infection (e.g., cellulitis, abscess, pericoronitis)
- Preventive or prophylactic removal
- Ectopic position
Which tooth/teeth are most likely getting impacted? (in order)
- Mandibular third molars
- Maxillary third molars
- Maxillary canines
- Mandibular premolars
- Mandibular canines
- Maxillary incisors
- Supernumeraries
If a tooth (maxillary / mandibular) is impacted, what position (orientation) does it usually located?
Maxilla: vertical
Mandible: mesioangular
classes for third molar impaction
- angulations
- Pell and Gregory (1,2,3 and A,B,C)
classes 1,2,3 Pell and Greg
Relation of the Mandibular third molar to the anterior border of the ramus
1. Enough space for crown between ramus and 2nd molar
1. 3rd molar crown ½ covered by ramus
1. 3rd molar crown entirely in ramus
classes ABC Pell and Greg
Relation of crown to adjacent occlusal plane (both arches)
A: crown occlusal plane adjacent to 2nd molar occ plane
B: Occ plane impacted tooth between occlusal plane and cervical line of adjcent
C: Occlusal plane apical to adjacent cervical line
Radiographic predictors about proximity of Inferior alveolar nerve to impacted mandibular 3rd molars?
- Darkening of root
- Deflection/curving of root
- Narrowing of root
- Interruption of the white line of the canal
- Diversion of the canal
- Narrowing of the canal
- PA lucency
Why and where do you perform buccal hockey stick incision?
Mandibular posterior to avoid the lingual nerve
Please know the various “treatments” to impacted tooth /teeth
- Removal/ prevention of pathology
- Repositioning
- Monitoring
- Exposure
