Q

What’s the purpose of vesbuloplasty?

A

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).

Q

Indications for performing alveolar ridge augmentaon

A
  • 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

* histo?

A
  • The largest para-nasal sinuses.

  • Bony box: Inferior orbital floor, lateral nasal bone, maxillary, zygomatic
  • Is pyramidal in shape.
  • The Lateral nasal bone forms its base
  • Ostium: drains into nasal cavity
  • Schniderian/Bilaminar membrane (mucus secreting pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium + periosteum on osseous side)
18
Q

Sinusitis

A

suppurative or non-suppurative inflammation of mucosal sinus lining

* success rate?
* Flap needs?
* Handing flap?
* No what on flap?
* Achieve proper?
